Twitch pulls the audio and plays some ambient techno instead. Seems Blizzard only cleared the rights to the music for the channels they owned and not for twitch.
Glassjaw
Re-issuing Coloring Book from 2011 with full live performance from The Forum. Also the first time the record has been available streaming.
