What a Mest: Anthony Lovato Charged with Murder



Continuing with the recent wave of mall-punk scumbaggery, former Mest frontman Anthony Lovato, 26, was arrested on suspicion of murder in Los Angeles last Sunday. Lovato is the "prime suspect" in the fatal stabbing of 25-year-old Wayne Hughes who was killed in an underground parking garage in a Studio City apartment building.

According to police reports, Lovato called 911 himself after stabbing Hughes during a heated altercation, claiming that Hughes had assaulted him first. Lovato was immediately arrested and charged with criminal homicide.

Police were also called to the building Saturday night to investigate a previous fight between the two men, but no arrests were made. Evidently the fights stemmed from both Hughes and Lovato being romantically involved with a woman who lives in the building, despite the fact that she dated the two men at different times. Any superfans with a pile of money should be aware that the singer's bail has been set at $1 million.

You know you're old when you say things like "All these new damn bands sound the same to me."

my assumption another emo-hard core band, but your right they all do sound the same, and these days every one and their dog is in a band

There is clearly a Vast People With Taste Conspiracy to lock up all of the west coast's mall punks.

Hmm..maybe I'm just a young'un, but a band that started in '96 is hardly 'new' - and they're definitely nowhere near emo. They're just lame.
And murderers.

..emo rockers could only hope.

Why was he walking around innocently carrying a knife?

That sounds a little suspect.

I know absolutely nothing about the guy, the band, or the murder, but I carry a pocket knife sometimes. Is that another southern thing? I mean, I don't carry it to stab hobos or skin roadkill, but it comes in pretty handy because everything you buy now is wrapped in superplastic.
