I sit down with the front girl Maria Brink of In This Moment to discuss their upcoming show and some happy memories of the Albany Area.

Last Saturday night hundreds of you Shinedown, Three Days Grace and P.O.D. fans flocked to the Glens Falls Civic Center to see them all perform. Despite the rough road conditions going to and from the venue it was well worth it, as all three bands put on awesome sets.

We had a very successful turn out and an extremely fulfilling time at this past weekend's second annual Q-Ruption Festival at SPAC.
