Everybody knows there is drama with THE ACACIA STRAIN and EMMURE due to the former rightly feeling the latter stole their sound. Acacia less than subtly hinted at it when we interviewed them last year. This has been quite an ongoing war of words but there was a physical altercation between Acacia's Vincent Bennet and Emmure vocalist at Emmure's show last night in Clifton Park, NY – TO THE DEATH (ok that last part is not true), but Lambgoat has a full account of the story…

"Vincent showed up to an Emmure headline show in Albany tonight at Northern Lights calling out Frankie asking if he had a problem with him and Frankie proceeded to punch him in the face and the two scuffled for a few minutes. Vincent had his glasses busted into his face and after a few minutes the fight was over with Vincent shaking Franks hand not once but twice claiming the beef is over." – label source

"So the guys in TAS showed up at the show in NY last night so that Vincent could talk to Frankie from Emmure and settle their issues for good. Frankie walked out and sucker punched Vincent and got ahold of him and was punching him in the head. Vincent was just laughing though and wouldn't hit him back. Frankie tried to put knuckles on but Vincent ripped them off and they scuffled a little bit but then got up and shook hands. And as far as what's on the message boards, I guess it was Emmure's merch girl who got on Lambgoat saying that Vincent was all bloody, but all he had a cut on his cheek." – Acacia Strain band member

"Really though. We traded blows. That's it. We shook hands and ended it. As far as i am concerned the 'beef' between us is done." – Vincent Bennett, via Twitter
I definitely think that Vincent held more than his own, as is evident by the tweets. Good to see that ultimately, this fued is over. What's this? We're getting word that as Vincent was leaving, Jonny Davy from JOB FOR A COWBOY ran behind him and hit him with a chair. THIS MEANS WAR!
