According to HARDfest.com: We were required to shut down Hard Summer at The Forum last night by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. They declared the event a “hazard” after seeing concertgoers jumping from the balcony to the floor, along with numerous other potentially dangerous activities. The Inglewood Police Department […]

As much as we would love to review Hard Summer’s artists we have to admit there was nothing to review. Crystal Castles were solid and so were Jackbeats, but after only about an hour and a half of music, the Inglewood Fire Marshall and Police Department put a hold on […]
