Trash Talk destroyed a drone mid-air with a beer can and it was excellent

by Mark Teo

If we’re to believe “Destroy,” Sacramento hardcore band (and noted Odd Future pals) Trash Talk love, um, destroying things. And they’re proficient at it, too—a fact proven by video that emerged yesterday of bassist Spencer Pollard nailing a drone with a beer can.

Shot at a recent performance in Detroit, the video shows a drone buzzing around the venue, shooting Trash Talk’s performance from all angles. Pollard was apparently irritated by the drone—perhaps because it wasn’t delivering Natty Ice tallboys—and took three shots at the quadcopter before he finally felled it. Check Pollard’s killer aim below.

Pollard caused $700 of damage to the drone, but the footage the emerged was, well, priceless. “I expressed my bewilderment at why he would do that … and he was like, ‘Screw you,’ and I was like, ‘Screw you,’ and that was that. There was mature language used,” the drone’s owner, Harry Arnold of Detroit Drones, told NME.

“He endangered people. I look at him as a young man—just as I tell my son, ‘You can’t do things as fast as you think of them,'” he contined. “There are too many people in prison or dead just because things popped in their head to do… People had kids in the concert, and when it came down, if it had come down on a kid in a stroller, it could have dome some serious damage.”

Like, whatever, guy. Don’t harsh my buzz.
