Strongarm to Play Cornerstone as a Tribute Band

According to a Strongarm blog entry the band is scheduled to play Cornerstone Festival this July in Bushnell, IL. The seminal Florida hardcore band's first vocalist, Jason Berggren, will be the only original member performing, with recently-disbanded Life In Your Way as the backing band. Their set is being dubbed a tribute and would consist of songs from the 'Atonement' album and selections from their follow-up, 'Advent of a Miracle.'

"I was contacted by Joshua Stump who does The Anchor Stage and asked if I would do a reunion," Berggren told Noisecreep. "I get asked this once every few months. Normally it's by fans, so I tell them i appreciate the encouragement. But Joshua wanted to take care of everything, so I said yes."

The other members of Strongarm were either unavailable or pending a response, so Stump suggested reaching out to John Gaskill, Life In Your Way's drummer, for a backing band.

"[John has] essentially spoken for them. If they can all make it, there may also be a Life In Your Way reunion," Berggren explains. "Joshua assures me that if some of the members can't make it to back me, he will fill the spots with real (legit) musicians."
