What’s the most blood he’s seen, how long has he been playing drums, what does Patlanta Saves mean??? Whether it was meeting S.A.D. at a young age or seeing Jimmy Wilkins land his first bump to bar with Tony Hawk; Vincent has stories for days. Sam Smyth said it in his first impression, “Vinnie’s the fuckin’ man-just ask anyone that knows him. He’s the best!” SMFM with: [...]
