You’ve gotta hand it to Taco Bell. All touring bands need to eat, and their ‘Feed The Beat’ program has come through for hungry bands for the last several years. The way the program works is that 100 bands are given $500 in Taco Bell bucks. If they wanna throw them out in the crowd to take care of their fans, like Municipal Waste did, that’s their prerogative. Many however, use it as tour support. Every year, there’s been a healthy supply of metal bands hooked up, and this year is no exception. This year, the heavier bands include Hellyeah, After the Burial, Andrew WK, Atreyu, Chiodos, In This Moment, Iron Thrones, Knights of the Abyss, The Acacia Strain, The Chariot, The Sword, Unearth, Every Time I Die, Emmure, Revocation and Underoath. That’s a lot of metal! For more details, go to feedthebeat.com.
