Metal hardcore band, Sirens & Sailors from New York are currently out on tour in Europe with To Kill Achilles and Archetype, and have endured a break in of their tour van. For any touring band, being away from home and having this happen is devastating. Now imagine it happening in another country, so far from home! Please read their recent post on their Facebook page and see how you can help:

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you would be so kind as to please take the time to read this, it could make a gigantic difference in our lives today.
It is every bands nightmare to come back to their van and see that it has been broken into and robbed, and today that nightmare has become reality for us. To add to it, we are overseas in completely foreign territory feeling more helpless than ever.
Every single dollar we brought with us, every single penny that we have earned over the past month of touring overseas has been stolen. Licenses, credit cards, essential medical supplies, laptops, electronic equipment, even down to our toiletries, GONE. In a matter of minutes, our livelihood has been taken from us. Our dream come true has become the exact opposite.
We have always been against starting a kick starter or any sort of band funding besides playing shows and selling merch, like any touring band should earn their keep. We have done it successfully for years now, but today we have no choice, and no other option.

There are really no words to describe what we are feeling at this moment, and we are so grateful for all of you and the support you have given us throughout the years. Thank you.
SIRENS & SAILORS

We have sent over a donation to assist them with them and hope you can too, or maybe share the post or this article so it may reach others who can help. It such a horrible feeling to have been robbed, it is not only a feeling of being violated when it is your personal property like licenses, ids, etc but you feel helpless and at a complete loss. We hope and know that this strong band will rise above this and I trust that all of us and their fans can help them through this challenging time.
We have been looking forward to seeing Sirens & Sailors in October when they make a stop in Sacramento at The Assembly on October 24th with Beartooth. You can visit their Facebook page for a list of upcoming tour dates. Check out the video for their song, The Chosen One:
If you don’t already have it pick up their Skeletons CD on iTunes here or through their merch site here. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
