Ground Farewell Tour |
PR reports: After over a decade of treading
the boards 'British Steel' veterans Stampin' Ground have released the dates
of their last EVER tour. SG tells it how it is: "We slogged our hearts
out for 11 years; harder than any band we've ever met, and we loved every
minute of it. It's been the greatest ride and we're proud to have been
part of it, but all good things come to an end and so has SG. This has
nothing to do with musical differences, personal stuff or any other lame
ass excuse you've heard a million times, truth is we just feel the time
is right to hang it up. We never set out to win the world title, we just
wanted to go the distance for 15 rounds and get some good punches in"[see
