Earth Crisis in ATL
My friends Chris and Jimmy are filling in on guitar and bass for a month-long tour with the seminal hardcore band Earth Crisis.

The first trip of the year for The Joneses was to Atlanta, a place that holds a special place in our heart. We were married there in 2007 and moved to NYC from there shortly after our wedding. We still have many friends there and do not get back nearly as much as we would like. On this trip we of course ate plenty of great vegan cuisine, were inspired by the city’s ambition with the new Beltline project and were reminded why not having a car can actually be a privilege. Our Southern blood still flows strong.
The night before we were set to fly back to NYC, my good friend Matt Miller (MPB, Five Mile Grace) and I made the drive up to Lawrenceville, Ga. where we met our fellow hardcore straight edge compadré Tony Price for the Foundation, Naysayer, Come Back Kid show. Matt was shooting the show for Foundation’s upcoming debut release on Bridge Nine Records. I couldn’t help but shoot some pictures as well. Other pictures from the trip are on FB.
