Periphery is nearing the end of their "Escape from the Studio Tour"--a series of concerts they did with Toothgrinder, The Contortionist, and Intervals. During the tour, the band announced that they finished recording their upcoming album, "Juggernaut."
Grand Theft Auto V is scheduled to launch on the eighth generation consoles on November 18. The title received rave reviews and currently holds a near-perfect score on Metacritic.
"GTA V is an imperfect yet astounding game that has great characters and an innovative and exciting narrative structure," Gamespot stated in their review of the game, "It also raises the bar for open-world mission design in a big way and has one of the most beautiful, lively, diverse and stimulating worlds ever seen in a video game."
The stream starts today at 4 PM EST. You can watch Periphery and The Contortionist wreak havoc in Los Santos here. For more information about Grand Theft Auto V and its upcoming release on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, go here.
