On Sunday, April 21st, we had an epic way to kick off the Grindhouse Battle, which if you do not know, is a online battle of local Acadiana metal bands! In match 1, we had Misanthropic Inoculation versus Cut Through The Dawn. Since those two bands had a show in Lafayette the next night, I decided to put them against each other in match 1, plus a little lagniappe!

In something that has never been done on The Grindhouse, I decided to let the bands actually battle it out, arm wrestle style! In this video, we have Johnathon Bourque (guitar) from Misanthropic Inoculation vs. Juan Salinas (bass) from Cut Through The Dawn!

In case you missed it on air, here is a video shot by Garrette Sanislo (guitar) of Misanthropic Inoculation. We will have an actual high quality video with commentary up in the near future!

Even though the video shows that Misanthropic Inoculation won the battle of strength, Cut Through The Dawn advanced to round 2 of the Grindhouse Battle with 2,972 votes with Misanthropic Inoculation putting up a good fight with 2,456 votes.
