Hundredth and Being As An Ocean have taken to social media this morning to confirm that both bands are fine after their shared tour bus caught on fire this morning.
“Woke up this morning to our bus on fire. We all got out and are okay,” Hundredth shared on their Twitter this morning.

Hundredth have tweeted that they will not be launching a GoFundMe following this morning’s fire aboard their shared tour bus with Being As An Ocean. See the band’s latest tweets concerning the bus fire directly below.

The band ask those looking to contribute in some way to “come bob your head” at the band’s shows this summer on Warped.
We are finishing the tour. We are still jamming these new songs. If you wanna do something, come bob your head ⚡

Being As An Ocean have yet to announce any crowdfunding campaign following the fire. They did recently tweet a request for an older model iPhone, presumably to replace one lost in the blaze.
One quick favor;
If you have an old iPhone or other phone in ATL / Orlando that you don’t use anymore that we could rock, reply to this!
