Against Me! in Bus Accident

Against Me! were in a bus accident on their current US tour last week. Drummer Warren Oakes' mother said

"At about 6am, Wyoming time, while everyone was safely tucked in their bunks, the bus hit a patch of ice just outside Rawlins, Wyoming and slid - ending up facing the reverse direction in the median.

The trailer, containing all the gear and supplies wobbled and bounced out of control - landing sideways in a snowy ditch. The trailer doors had ripped open, so all around the site of their accident the ground was covered with equipment cases, CDs, boxes of T-shirts, etc."
As a result of the accident the band cancelled the show in Salt Lake City.
