Asking Alexandria banned from Nashville venue

The UK hard rock sensation, Asking Alexandria, have blazed a trail of debauchery across North America over the course of numerous tours and their touring lifestyle is now becoming infamous, which has been heralded by many mainstream publications. The group's reckless image proved to be too much for the conservative venue Rockettown in Nashville, TN who deemed the band "too controversial" and banned them from playing their venue.

The UK hard rock sensation, Asking Alexandria, have blazed a trail of debauchery across North America over the course of numerous tours and their touring lifestyle is now becoming infamous, which has been heralded by many mainstream publications. The group's reckless image proved to be too much for the conservative venue Rockettown in Nashville, TN who deemed the band "too controversial" and banned them from playing their venue.


This primarily Christian area hasn't been this riled up since the days of the antichrist Marilyn Manson's notorious run, but Asking Alexandria make no apologies as rock n' roll is supposed to be dangerous and exciting. They managed to move their headlining show to the Cannery Ballroom on April 12th and welcome all the haters to come and join the party.


The band's new album "Reckless And Relentless" will be released on April 5 through Sumerian Records.
