Not only is Daniel Spector the drummer and co-founder of Richmond, Virginia hardcore band Down To Nothing, but he's also a doctor. This apparent dichotomy was not lost on Richmond CBS affiliate WTVR, who featured Spector on their nightly news program last night. You can check out the video below.
Spector graduated from medical school in 2013 and is currently an ER doctor at Chippenham Medical Center. "I think I picked emergency medicine out of all the specialties because you do get that adrenaline rush," he told CBS 6 during a recent shift at the hospital.
When asked about the rough-and-tumble atmosphere found at many hardcore shows, Dr. Spector was positive: "There's kind of a community atmosphere to it, too. where people are looking out for each other, for the most part. Every once in a while there will be a fight at a show but, in general, I think that's frowned upon."

Based on what I know about becoming a doctor, this is not even close to news. Find some more dirt about deathcore bands or somethin'.
What a poser. Nothing tr00 about being able to pay your bills each month.
This is Andrew Chumbley I've been waiting for this thread all year, CYC does more for hardcore than any of you sitting on fcking Lambgoat do They have toy drives for needy kids, they give money to have shows happen, they own a venue, they give bands $ to help them tour, they sign bands, what the hell are u doing for your scene? Your bullshit egos are what's ruining hardcore. I back CYC 150%. I can't wait for this fest. If you have an issue PLEASE message me on Facebook or twitter
I thought everyone knew this just like dave wood was prom king and they're all rich kids
don't get it twisted, if you start a band you're still 99.9% sure to be a fast food assistant manager when you're 40
Maybe he perform emergency surgery on Chaka and Todd Jones careers. Burn is in need of life support.

See what can be accomplished when you DONT put your dumb band first on your priority list?!

'In other breaking news, guy in hardcore band actually has a career?! Were just as shocked, more at 11'
Terror should ask him to join the band, too. Sounds like Vogel could use his services.

What a sell out. I bet he drives his mercedes to shows as opposed to the piss smelling van of his band mates.
