Sweet score at my favourite Record Shop!! This gem came in as a used record and came out in 1993 kids... The movie was balls but this soundtrack was heavy as shit back in the day melding Hip Hop with Metal and Alternative bands. And it's still good! Sooooo many classic tracks on this. Go to your local record store and find these hidden gems by crate digging. #judgementnight #nowspinning #cypresshill #houseofpain #helmet #rundmc #biohazard #slayer #icet #rap #metal #rapmetal #90s #vinyljunkie #lp #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyladay #vinylig

Friday night June 12th I was shooting Crowbar for Beatroute AB magazine and there was a moment during the show when the guitarist of Crowbar Matt Brunson @crowbarmatt went off the side stage to shake hands and give a guitar pic to a handicapped teenager in a wheelchair. I was in the middle of switching lens and wasn't able to zoom in cause I had a 30mm prime. So I snapped a photo and hoped for the best. This moment isn't staged, its rough and you have to really look across the stage but it contains humanity at a special moment. Thought I would share it with you all what I saw through my eyes. Cheers Mr Mario @beatrouteab @crowbarmusic #crowbar #yycmusic #nola #musicphotography #humanity #yyc
