MATT DRISCOLL: NOT AFRAID OF TACOMA >>>

Cameron Elliott, the leader, singer, guitarist and driving force behind Battle Hymns, isn’t scared of Tacoma â€" at least not really.

“I’m more afraid I’ll be tempted to don an eye patch and start bossing glass blowers around, or go on a car crushing spree with my monster truck,” says the melancholy, indie rock songsmith â€" like a modern day Tom Petty without the bad haircut â€" when asked whether he was afraid of being jumped or pressured into methamphetamine use when his band plays the New Frontier Lounge tonight.
