Our thoughts are with them.Our thoughts are with them as well.UPDATE (9/25): Ethan, Jay and Alison were treated and released from the hospital.

Please, please help these guys out, if at all possible. Such a solid bunch of individuals making awesome music, and deserve to be able to continue to do so. It's easy to say "should've had insurance," but easier to enjoy art in any form for little to no money.
