According to Joey, LoA doesn't play 'hardcore', but he would rather call it 'metal-crossover'.

The story of Five Stiches above Joey's Left Eye":
"It happend in a club, on Rhode Island, called the Babyhead, but since the accident we call it Crackyourhead. Three songs before the end of the concert, I decide to jump into the crowd. Usually you'll be catched. But not this time. Right on my head, guitar in pieces. And now for the best part (I'm covered with blood): I jump back on the stage, grab a guitar and complete the set. After the concert, Keith drove me to the hospital as fast as he could."

Joey's favorite LoA song: Let's Pretend
Joey as a kid was influenced by Metallica (Kirk Hammett)
