The injury happened right at the end of Knuckle Puck's set which ultimately had to be cut short. Taylor fell off the stage right as the band performed the last song of the day, “Pretense.”

The band also poked some fun at themselves after the performance, joking about how they didn't just “go off” but went “right off the damn stage.” The band also later clarified that Taylor only needed a couple of stitches and the vocalist is okay!

We hope we'll see Joe Taylor and the rest of the boys in Knuckle Puck killing it on stage again real soon.
