I mentioned I was going to post this last week but didn't get a chance to do so. The YouTube video has been passed around many times and there's a good chance you might have seen this interview with Cameron Heacock (American Head Charge (Official)). It's a tough 45 minute watch but he talks about growing up, American Head Charge, addiction and homelessness.

This is an article from The PRP but the video is included at the end.

Ex-American Head Charge vocalist Cameron Heacock recounts his ongoing struggles with addiction and homelessness in a new interview.
