if you like hardcore and haven't listened to rotting out, then do you really like hardcore? rotting out is a hardcore band from Las Angeles, California they formed in 2009 later realeasing a full length called Street Prowl. this band generates enerygy from its punk rock roots but also inquiring new age hardcore, they also bring that 90's skate punk vibe. Rotting out brings vicious mosh pits and back breaking pile ons. rotting out has a great energetic crowd but if you find yourself in a wide open space in the middle of the show, get out while you can before large men with beards are coming at you; just kidding go crazy and get involved with the crowd that rotting out attracts. rotting out will be playing this years vans warped tour, so if you are going to be at one of the many dates, stop at the rotting out set and see what its like. pay attention to the vocalist... hes missing a lot of teeth

So where do I start? A place? a person?

Pry open the past that was meant to fall apart. Take a look inside the mind that lies behind these eyes to answer all the “when where and whys”.

STREET PROWL. I turned to the streets.

I searched for acceptance.

What was left of me was broken and neglected.

I was not destined for dreams, and love wasn’t for me.

I ran with broken boys and smiled with shattered teeth.

Those nights, these nights, they kept me alive.
