Steve Morris, the guitarist from Unwritten Law, was victim of a homemade bomb explosion cause by his neighbor, injuring his arm and eardrums. Morris and the 23-year-old neighbor were in an argument over noise levels coming from Morris’ house.

Morris claims he has hardly been home over the last 3 months, so the neighbor?s claims are without merit. Obviously the neighbor thought otherwise, since he built the bombs with dry ice and dropped them off in front of Morris’ house and onto his balcony.

“The bomb thrown onto his balcony failed to detonate, so Steve, thinking it was just ice in a bottle, put it into the freezer as evidence to show the landlord,” a post reads on the band’s web site. “Then a second bomb detonated outside his front door, damaging the front door and a light fixture.”

“Upon hearing this explosion, Steve called security and the police,” the post says. “When they arrived, they asked to see the original device, and 30 seconds after being removed from the freezer, it detonated in the hands of the security guard, severely injuring the security guard. Steve and the police officer were also injured due to the blast, and Steve is suffering from a concussion and fluid in his ear drums.”

The band has canceled the next few tour dates to ensure Steve recovers completely. Their target date to start again is September 3.

“He planned this for a week and tried to kill me with a bomb,” Morris said in a press release. “I can’t believe someone would go to these lengths over a domestic dispute about noise levels. I’m sorry we have to cancel shows and disappoint our fans because of this vindictive individual.”
