Wednesday, April 18, 2012 10:04 AM PT


Chicago, IL hardcore band Harm's Way has their van stolen in the Wicker Park section of Chicago last night. The van is a 1999 Ford e350 XLT 15-passanger van and the gear stolen is as follows:

  • Peavy 5150 (II) 150 watt Eddie Van Halen signature guitar head with ATA black road case. The face plate of the head has been removed.
  • LTD EC-1000 black gloss Korean-made Les Paul body type guitar with Gibson 1990 "chainsaw case" with blue interior.
  • Pedal train PT-1 pedal board with case and: Ibanez T9 tube screamer, BOSS tu-2 Chromatic stomp box tuner, DOS envelope filter stomp box, BOSS DD-6 Digital Delay pedal and a daisy chain
  • American Fender Jazz Bass inside a hard, black case with "2*Sweet" spray painted on it in white. Also an inverted cross spray painted in white near the top of the case.
  • Ampeg 8x10 Bass Cabinet. "2*Sweet" written on the wood in permanent marker on the side where Tolex was stripped off. Also the wheels are attached to a 2x4 at the bottom.
  • Traynor TS-140 Bass Head. Grey, old, beat-up looking. Power cable in the back is very frayed.
  • BOSS ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Pedal
  • BOSS TU-2 Chromatic tuner

Be on the lookout for this stuff.

What's the deal with Chicago bands getting their shit stolen in their own city? Shit's fucked up.

The new band featuring Johnny Craig, Andrew Mikhail, Tony Brummel, and Eric Salzer now have the necessary van and equipment to hit the road.

Adele is stoked.

4/18/2012 10:28:49 AM
Damn!!! That really sucks. They're one of the nicest bands I've ever met!

But seriously, who the fuck would steal from a band whose vocalist looks like the hulk?!?!

4/18/2012 10:39:31 AM

Somebody bought some gear from 2*sweet Pete. Everyone gets robbed in Chicago.

it really sucks for them! but dont care about stupid beat down tough guy bands

4/18/2012 10:49:57 AM
LOL at the idea of a band with Tony Brummel, Jonny Craig, Eric Salzer, and Andrew Mikhail. The collective sense of self-entitlement alone would cause any stage to collapse

4/18/2012 11:00:16 AM
thats fucking rough man, hopefully they get their shit back.

"it really sucks for them! but dont care about stupid beat down tough guy bands"

Harm's Way isn't even close to a beat down band.

4/18/2012 11:07:17 AM
Have CM Punk lock in the Anaconda Vice on the perps.

your name is xburnfacex. anything you say is invalid.

4/18/2012 11:38:37 AM
The Hulk will rip the perps limb from limb while the guitarist & Drew York pop the collars on their leather jackets/comb their hair.

the Obama administration thought a less fortunate band needed the gear more so they confiscated it. Sorry bro's.

Why would Tony Brummel do something like this?

4/18/2012 1:02:07 PM
That sucks. Look for a guy with far too many Harm's Way tshirts in his closet.

4/18/2012 1:19:39 PM
"two totally different bands."

No shit.

4/18/2012 1:51:46 PM
HARM'S WAY CHICAGO (that steals the equipment you use to play your shit music)

4/18/2012 1:53:24 PM
The Peavey 5150 (II) is actually 120 watts, not 150.
Just sayin'......

4/18/2012 2:02:31 PM
This justice is poetic, oh noes our bands name is harms way and bad shit happened to us! NCE

Also adele boy your trying to hard

anonymous
4/18/2012 2:11:13 PM
what are sages gonna do with all that gear?

4/18/2012 2:15:44 PM
if the harm's way vocalist was standing outside the van the whole night, not a single person would look at him. If they did he would bite their ear off like mike tyson.
DON'T PLAY SHOWS IN WICKER PARK. 10 other bands have got their shit stolen from that venue too!

4/18/2012 2:23:04 PM
"be on the lookout for this stuff"

every fucking band out there uses this exact same gear

anonymous
4/18/2012 2:25:44 PM
I really hope the singer goes on a Die Hard-esque style rampage to get their gear back. i would watch the hell out of the movie version

anonymous
4/18/2012 3:28:04 PM
What the fuck is Harm's Way gonna do if they spot anyone with these gears? They're a bunch of fucking pussies

The best advice is to look on craigslist or talk to every single pawn shop or music store within a 30 mile radius. I know it sounds geeky and dumb but "nobody" deserves to have anything stolen. support hardcore and the people who devote their lives to it.

Do you know how many bands I have to support on my roster? How many instruments, and gear that is?
Put the two together, and add the cocaine to the mix.
Its the music industry. Either you learn and adapt, or you're fucking done.
I fucking wrote a letter to Steve jobs once. Do you even fucking know who I am?

4/19/2012 7:25:23 AM
They probably chucked the gear and sold the steroids.

Anyone that thinks Harms Way is a beat down band needs to be beaten down. Idiot. Get the fuck out of hardcore. You're polluting my air. UNITY!

At least they didn't steal their Boss HM-2. Entombedcore for lyfe

Good, that way no one will have to listen to them suck ass.

4/19/2012 1:53:50 PM
Entombed did it, they wanted their intellectual properties back.

Eric Salzer oddly enough started new band, with this exact matching great
