Music Transient Involved in a Head On Collision While on Tour
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 6:14 AM
On Saturday, while driving to Savannah, Georgia, local grindcore band Transient was involved in a head on accident when a SUV jumped the median and crashed into the band's van. Singer Krysta Martinez was airlifted to a local hospital but should be fine following surgery. The band is currently stranded in Georgia with a totaled van (plus a mountain of medical bills), so they are accepting donations via PayPal. Or, you can just pick up a copy of their latest release, a split 7-inch with Elitist that was released on Relapse Records.
