Trap Them Vocalist Breaks Both Feet Onstage And Keeps Playing

9:47 AM EDT on October 19, 2016

Ryan McKenney, frontman of the Massachusetts grindcore band Trap Them, is a motherfucking trooper. On Saturday night, while performing in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, McKenney leapt from a speaker cabinet and broke both of his feet, as Metal Injection reports. And rather than stopping the show, McKenney finished performing, hunching over a speaker cabinet and grimacing in obvious pain but still growling. And the band hasn't canceled its touring plans, either. Two nights later, the band played a show in London, and McKenney, with a black eye and casts on both feet, did the whole show from an office chair. Not even a wheelchair! Below, you can see video of Trap Them performing after the injury, and of McKenney about to jump from those speakers and performing in London two nights later.
