Darkest Hour kicked off own tour bus

It appears having your own bus does not guarantee full and unconditional travelling privileges – at least if you’re Darkest Hour.

It appears having your own bus does not guarantee full and unconditional travelling privileges – at least if you’re Darkest Hour.


The popular Washington based metal outfit were recently kicked off their tour bus when the vehicle’s driver took issue with the band’s partying in between shows.


Drummer Ryan Parrish recently explained the occurrence to Noisecreep.


“He (the bus driver) was not a very nice person and was constantly accusing of us of not cleaning the bus, which we did all the time. He would come in at 2 or 3 AM to drive and we'd be partying and having a good time, and he was be (sic) so upset about it. But we would clean up afterwords (sic),” Parrish notes.


The musician said the aforementioned driver arranged for police to escort the band off the vehicle. "He wanted the police there so we wouldn't kick his ass," Parrish stated jokingly.


Darkest Hour are set to tour Australia in January.
