Super quick share of my notes:

  • From A Second Story Window - did not know them, worth checking out
  • Bury Your Dead - same
  • Dying Wish - yes, still a great show #femalefrontedmetal
  • Oh, Sleeper - never had an album click for me, but the show was excellent (I usually feel the same way about Norma Jean)
  • Full of Hell - wins award for most-hilarious commentary and most intense set
  • Silent Planet - always a pleasure, always down for angry music about peace & justice & love (more, more, more)
  • Haste the Day - not as fun without Jimmy, but still great times (more)
  • The Devil Wears Prada - also more enjoyable in person than on-album, but felt like they were trying too hard
  • Bane - tried it, but I think I’m not the target market (I usually like my hardcore with a little something more going on)
  • August Burns Red - epic “angry music for happy people”. I got up close side stage for this and it was excellent. (more)

For later:

I’ll post show recording links here as I run across them. Feel free to send them my way.
