DRAIN paid tribute to the late Lou Koller during their performance at the July 26th stop of the \u2018Vans Warped Tour\u2019 in Long Beach, CA.<\/p>\n

Before launching into the song, vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro addressed the crowd with a heartfelt message:<\/p>\n

\u201cCheck it out, for the last six years we\u2019ve opened every single set with the same song. We\u2019re gonna change it up today. We\u2019re gonna pay some respect to one of the many late heroes of hardcore. This goes out to Lou. This goes out to Sick Of It All. \u2018Warped Tour\u2019, do you know what fucking time it is?\u201d<\/p>\n

The emotional tribute was met with an enthusiastic response from the crowd as DRAIN celebrated the legacy of one of hardcore\u2019s most beloved frontmen.<\/p>\n

DRAIN\u2019s performance was among the sets officially livestreamed from the Long Beach edition of the festival, and footage of the tribute has since surfaced online for fans who missed the event.<\/p>\n
