Here’s a super bizarre story for you. Last week we brought you a story about a wheelchair crowdsurfer at a Strung Out show, but this one blows that story out of the water. Turns out that at a recent Aquabats show, one of the band members throws a young kid into the crowd!!!

Supposedly the band had the blessings of the kid’s parents, but almost immediately after the kid gets thrown, a grown man jumps in, barely missing the kid as he gets taken aside. Don’t believe me? Click here to watch the video!

The Aquabats have released a “Radio Down!” EP that will precede a new full-length that’s set to be released in January on Fearless Records.

Hardcore act Foundation are heading into the studio next month to record their full-length debut for Bridge Nine Records.

The band hopes to have the album out in the Spring of 2011 and tour Europe with Bracewar.
