Baroness In Tour Bus Crash

Prog-punk band Baroness and their crew were rushed to hospital yesterday after their tour bus plummeted off a viaduct near Bath in England.

Nine people have been reported injured – two seriously – in the horror smash after the vehicle left the A36 road and fell 30 feet.

The American prog-punk band were midway through a tour of the UK. They’d played a show in Bristol and were heading to Southampton.

It’s thought torrential rain, which reduced visibility to almost zero, was a contributing factor. Eyewitnesses suggest the bus was moving very slowly as a precaution against the weather before it appeared to “fall off” the viaduct.

Seven of their entourage were taken to the Royal United Hospital, Bath, while two others had to be cut free from the wreckage. One of those joined his tourmates at RUH while the other went to Frenchay Hospital, Bristol. None have been released. The weather conditions meant air ambulance services were not able to assist.

Inspector Nick Hunt of Avon and Somerset Police says: “We are investigating the circumstances, but at this stage it is too early to tell what the cause was.”

An official statement says: “Baroness were in a serious bus accident last night. The band members and crew are recovering at local hospitals. All tour dates are postponed until further notice.”

Baroness have reemerged after 3 years of touring, writing and recording!!!!

Baroness' Yellow & Green finds a band that has developed into more than just giants of the metal underground, they are now fully formed hard rock titans. Fans of the band have come to expect nothing less than constant evolution from Baroness and that is precisely what the band has delivered, but in ways noone could have anticipated: the hooks are immediately seared into your brain, riffs that take just one listen to fully lodge themselves in your consciousness and vocals that are sung both heavily and beautifully. Some songs are more delicate than Baroness ever hinted to before while others are straight up arena rockers—yet all along Yellow & Green is unmistakably the Baroness that the world has come to love and look to for Record Of The Year quality rock and roll. It’s not hard to imagine any one of the 18 songs that fill out the Yellow & Green 2CD/2LP being rock radio anthems, and deservedly so. At no risk of hyperbole Baroness’ ‘Yellow & Green’ is on a very short list as one of the new millennium’s best rock records.
