When I first started Street Teaming for peta2 I was always eager to listen to the awesome bands that support animal rights. I loved checking out bands like Paint It Black, Good Riddance, AFI, and Lifetime. I still look up to all four of them and listen to them often. With that being said, I want to introduce you all to a band that will be the Next Big Thing: This City In Collision.

This City In Collision consists of compassionate fellows Jeremy Guzman, Danny Lopez, Edgar Rivera, Zack Bradford, Donny Hampson and Alex Castillo. You can see them rocking peta2 shirts at shows in the Las Vegas area and possibly in your area sometime in 2009!

What got you interested in starting This City In Collision and speaking up for animals?
We were all in different bands throughout the beginning of the band, this was more like a side project which started due to our other bands lacking in self drive and dedication. Most of us have been vegetarian for awhile and what influenced us to speak up would be seeing videos and pictures of the treatment of animals and what they go through to be served on more than 1,000,000 people's dinner plates a year.

For all the other fairly new bands reading this, do you have any advice on how they can get more active for animals while being so busy?
Yes, even if you aren't vegetarian or vegan take some action in the right for animals, seriously it isn't as time consuming as you may make it out to be, get involved do some research, read up on things we promise you will find your reason to help such great organizations like PETA and peta2!

You're in the running to play an event called the Extreme Thing which includes bands like Bad Religion and Silverstein. How can people help you get on board for the event?
People can get us on the event by voting at: http://xpozlv.com/helix/members/battleofthebands.php?lS=5. We are one of the newest bands in the area and we have accomplished so much more than any other project we have been in. We feel like we finally deserve to play for a large concert and increase our fan base. It would be such a blessing and it definitely would not be able to happen without our fans!

Now you got some fresh tunes to check out and why not help our friends in This City In Collision with some votes? Let me know by commenting below if you voted for them!
