Theft of Archspire trailer thwarted by their drummer sleeping inside

Currently touring North America as part of the "Tech Trek V" tour, Archspire were extremely close to losing all of their gear yesterday in Austin, Texas when thieves attempted to detach the band's trailer from their van. Fortunately, Archspire drummer Spencer Prewett was sleeping in the back and was able to frighten away the bandits.

The group had the following to say about the incident: "We had our van parked in a hotel parking lot, and two trucks rolled up and started trying to detach our trailer from our van. Luckily our drummer Spencer was sleeping in the back, he woke up and scared the shit out of them and they peeled off. We were so close to having our entire touring rig stolen, including merch, gear, clothing, everything."
