 It was fitting that it was a rainy Friday night, as The Umbrellas, opened up the show at Cobra Lounge to an already pretty packed room. The chill indie pop sounds of the band had the crowd dancing from the start. While a couple of members exclaimed their gratitude for being able to be on tour and perform live, they also really missed their cats and looked forward to getting home to them soon.
All female 3 piece punk/grunge band, Jigsaw Youth, performed next and brought the energy of a metal band. The hard hitting music, heavily inspired by NYC hardcore, was exactly what the crowd wanted as they started running around in a circle pit and they even pulled off a wall of death. Destroy Boys, a punk rock band from Sacramento, California, closed out the night. They provided a safe space in the pit for the women in attendance, explaining to the crowd that their next song to be played was for them to enjoy. They were equally outspoken when it came to police brutality and the oppression of people of color, as some of the members are. A couple of the songs that stood out were "I Threw Glass at my Friend's Eyes and now I'm on Probation" and "Sweet Tooth," from their newest album to which they had members from The Umbrellas and Jigsaw Youth come out on stage and dance the night away. Destroy Boys is a very high energy band with equally energetic fans, eager to jump around and scream out the lyrics, to which they seem to relate with on a very personal level.

 St. Petersburg went to church Saturday night to hear the preaching of punk legends Bad Religion.
War on Women opened the evening with a frenetic performance. Front person Shawna Potter makes you tired just watching her. Next up was favorites Alkaline Trio. They were definitely a crowd favorite with everyone singing along. But Bad Religion was what the people came to see and they definitely didn’t disappoint the sold out crowd. Review/Photo By: Amy Breaux  "Sam Fischer is an Australian pop-rock singer-songwriter who brought his talent to a little venue in Glasgow called King Tut's. King Tut's is known to have housed gigs for names that now headline tours across the world so it is no shock for fans when the gig location was moved from the SWG3 to King Tut's. The venue is very intimate but because of this, numbers were reduced for this show but it definitely did not affect the performance in any way.
Sam brought his A game tonight and gave his fans a show that was worth coming out for. The artist remained humble and down to earth when he came on stage and for the entire set, it was an amazing interaction to have witnessed. The smile hardly ever left his face all night long, I think he was as glad to be back performing as we all were. He opened his set with "Everybody's Got Somebody" followed by "Pick Me Up" and "What Other People Say". It was very easy to get caught up in a dance and singing along with the artist as he himself was dancing around the stage, interacting with his band and with the audience. It was a lovely night and I am glad I got the chance to be there." Review/Photo By: Tyler Sams  Waterparks brought their “A Night Out on Earth” tour to the Theatre of Living Arts for TWO nights in Philadelphia, PA because the first night (11/11) sold out about a week after the tickets went on sale over the summer. The 11/7 show was technically night two and it was such a wild ride. The energy exploded as soon as Waterparks took the stage, opening with the title track from their latest album “Greatest Hits” leading right into “Numb” followed by “Watch What Happens Next” and “Fuzzy”. These are three of the most high energy songs right in the front of the set. Philadelphia is one of Waterparks’ favorite cities to play and they brought the heat with non stop crowd surfing and mosh pits, even a wall of death for turbulent. Of course, there was chaos on the Waterparks tour starting with someone puking In the pit and Awsten having to stop the show to get the crowd towels to clean it up. Going to A Waterparks concert is truly a unique experience because even if you go to more than one date of the tour, none of them are going to be the same show.
Review/Photos By: Emily Armitage  Nothing, Nowhere took over the Foundry in Philadelphia, PA with a packed room. Support for this small tour included Arms Length and Meet Me At the Altar. Nothing, Nowhere opened his set with his brand new single “Pieces of You” before proceeding into his latest album Trauma Factory playing fan favorites such as “Nightmare”, “Pretend” and more. The crowd was extremely hyped the entire time singing back every single word and kept a mosh pit going the entire time. He even surprised long time fans with deep cuts such as “Hammer”, “Clarity in Kerosine”, and “Nevermore”. There were even some crowd surfers at the end. Nothing, Nowhere has shown once again what an incredible performer he is. Although he was providing support for All Time Low alongside Meet Me At the Altar, both bands have decided to drop off the tour and start their own. The dates are below

This was one of the biggest rooms on the tour and although it was not sold out, the energy in the room was not lacking. The philly Grayscale crowd did not disappoint. They brought the crowd surfing nonstop energy and the mosh pit energy. Collin Walsh even asked if they were trying to break the crowd surfing record. Grayscale had been playing their new album UMBRA in full on this tour but unfortunately had to cut the last three songs on UMBRA due to Collin having a slight chest cold. In addition to most of UMBRA, there were some old favorites added to the set list such as “In Violet”, “Painkiller Weather”, “Fever Dream”, “Forever Yours”, and “Atlantic”. The full chaos was unleashed during “Fever Dream”
And “Atlantic” which is to be expected. Grayscale never fail to put on an incredible performance. Review/Photo By: Emily Armitage  LA indie artists lovelytheband descended upon the House of Mouse this past Thursday along with fellow Los Angelinos Rec Hall and CANNONS. The night was filled with a kind of mellow happy vibe that only a few artists can accomplish. The guys will be taking off for Christmas but are starting back up with shows running through New Year’s Eve. So if you are in the Pacific Northwest you are in luck.
Review/Photos By: Amy Breaux  Ukrainian metalcore group Jinjer brought the heat to Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, FL this past week with All Hail the Yeti and Suicide Silence opening. Small in stature with a light speaking voice, lead singer Tatiana Shmailyuk has one of the most powerful metal voices out there today. She growls and stalks the stage in an almost panther-like manner. Between the mosh pit and the crowd surfing, there was no way to not move. With only a few more dates to the tour this year, catch this if they come your way.
Review/Photo By: Amy Breaux  Kawala are an up and coming pop punk band from London (Camden) and were headlining their sold out uk tour. Hitting it off at Glasgow's very own King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. Inside the venue the heat of all the bodies was a stark contrast to the cold winter chill that all of the fans had to suffer whilst lining up outside.
It was worth the wait though because as soon as the band hit the stage the crowd went wild and they opened up with "Funky" then "Angry Man". The room was so jam packed it was an amazing feeling just to be there and jumping and singing and dancing along with everyone else. The music industry has a truly amazing community, there was not a soul there that night that did not have a smile on their face. The band didn't slow down as they continued to play songs such as "Pure Desire" and "Animals" and "DILYD". They played on that stage for what felt like forever, and for so long that it felt like it would never end as they kept playing banger after banger of songs. The energy never faulting which was amazing. I am not sure I could have spent an hour up on that stage playing with the same energy that they had. It was an amazing night and I was reliving it over again whilst driving home. Wishing, like always, that it could continue. Review/Photo By: Tyler Sams  Pop singer Jeremy Zucker is back with his North American tour “MORE NOISE.” Making his way to a sold-out show at the Royale in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. His show opened with a heartfelt performance of “we’re f**ked it’s fine,” off of his debut album “love is not dying.” Immersive visuals are reminiscent of each song played on a screen behind him the entire show. Fans jumped along to songs like "Therapist,” from his sophomore album “CRUSHER,” and lit up the stage with flashlights during emotional songs like "scared." He also engaged with the crowd personally by reading out signs and leading sections of the crowd to sing along to his song "somebody loves you." Jeremy wrapped up the show with his song “Supercuts,” only to be met with fans chanting for an encore. Returning to the stage, he performed “talk is overrated (feat. blackbear)” to finish the show. If Jeremy Zucker ever ends up playing a show near you, I’d highly recommend checking it out!
Review/Photo By: Zoe Lynn  I’m not going to lie, before this show, The Brook and The Bluff were not necessarily on my radar. I saw that they were playing in NYC and that their genre was rock, and I wanted to go. Nothing could’ve prepared me for the amazing show I attended. I knew it was going to be good when the opener Lindsey Lomis took the stage. She was amazing and so engaging with the crowd. It really set the tone for the night. Then the stage was being set for The Brook and The Bluff, a very intimate stage setting. A lamp and ‘Yard Sale’ sign set up on the keys. This night created a lifelong fan out of me. They brought out an acoustic mic at one point to cover The Beach Boys as well as a new song. This really slowed down the moment and the vocals were beautiful. Seeing everyone just put their phones down and listen in awe to those few special songs was really amazing. At the end of the show, of course no one was ready for it to be over. “Pastels, Pastels, Pastels” the crowd chanted. The band came back for one last performance of the song “Pastels” of their newest album, Yard Sale. After the show, everyone was lingering, not wanting it to really be over. However it did have to end eventually, and we all rushed to the long merch line, trying to stay as long as we could.
Review/Photo By: Tharynn Hook  At this show, live music finally felt like normal again. Attending my first sold out show at Bowery Ballroom, and one of my first in recent years, was a special experience. I was there early, of course, to get comfortable with the new crowd and the venue, and as the night continued, the people just kept coming. The venue’s first floor, which consists of no seating, was so packed I could barely move through it. The fans of this band were so kind, and they were all so excited to be crammed together with a bunch of others who love Wolf Alice. Many people were eagerly talking to me while waiting for the show to start. It was fun trying to find spaces to cram into just to get a good shot. I was between people’s heads, above the stage, trying to find a good angle between the bars of the stairs. This frantic energy combined with the love I saw on the faces of the people next to me made me feel so good, so I can only imagine how the band felt. The room was truly alive. This was only their first of two sold-out nights at Bowery Ballroom. It was a night I’m glad to have been a part of and I hope everyone gets the chance to experience their shows live.
Review/Photo By: Tharynn Hook  Originally from New Jersey, Morgan made the move to Los Angeles in July of 2021 excited to see where her music career will take her. Known for her tongue-in-cheek lyrics and pop-sensible melodies, she draws her inspiration from diverse influences. From Adele to Julia Michaels to Led Zeppelin, Morgan seamlessly forges the gap between pop/rock and soul in an accessible, authentic way. Her relocation has led to a flood of inspiration, so expect a lot more from this up-and-coming artist in the next year.
The “high of the lows” never sounded so good. Written during the quarantine period last year, Morgan’s sentiments are still all too relatable today. Her struggle with loneliness and isolation are brought to life beautifully within her lyrics, and the emotion in her voice is undeniable. While the single appears to be about simply drunk texting an ex, “Old Habits” really dives a bit deeper, referencing perfectionism, regret, and the rush of it all. But when taking a closer look at the lyrics and taking in the heart-wrenching vocals of Keller, this song will hit closer to home than originally thought. While for some this might be an ideal song about an ex, I like to look at it as the end of an era in which I deserved better. It’s about the moment you know you have to leave a situation but you can’t because it feels familiar, and even though you get hurt it’s still better because you can navigate it and deal with it. But soon the realization that you have to close the chapter hits and you start to accept it. This single ushers in what Morgan refers to as her own “Reputation era”, a pop-rock moment that her voice was made for. Her range keeps the song dynamic, and the production makes it extra groovy. Not to mention the crunchy guitars appeal to the angsty teenager in all of us.

Website: https://morgankellermusic.wixsite.com/website Review by Anissa Steijns  "Blood Honey is a British four-piece indie rock band from Brighton and they were welcomed on stage at St Luke's on a miserable Glasgow evening but the atmosphere inside the venue was anything but miserable. The crowd had steadily filled the venue up over the course of the evening so by the time the main act was ready to come on, it was jam packed and bodies everywhere.
They gathered onstage to a cheering crowd and wasted no time on starting their set, starting off with "I Like The Way You Die" then "All My Pride" and "Beaches". The band hardly stood in the same spot as each member bounced around on stage, engaging with the crowd and giving it their all. The lead singer and guitarist, Izzy Baxter Phillips kept encouraging the crowd to get involved, to sing and dance and mosh as much as they could, which worked because they soon did exactly that. It was an incredible night and you just cannot beat live music, it is so much better than listening to it digitally. If you haven't heard of this band yet then I highly recommend giving them a listen if you like strong female vocals and incredible guitar and drums." Review/Photo By: Tyler Sams  As soon as the announcement for BTS’ new single came out together with the artwork for it, fans around the world all went crazy in making theories about what kind of song it would be. Many were speculating that it would be a cute and soft song as they went off the words ‘to melt ARMYs hearts’. However as soon as teaser pictures dropped, the fans realized how wrong they were.
As soon as the single and the music video dropped, the song should’ve been recognized as a banger. Following the success of their previous English single ‘Dynamite’ which was released to give the fans some good feelings and hope following the pandemic, ‘Butter’ is more of a dance summer song to bring some positive vibes all around. The song starts with the soothing vocals of members Jungkook and V with a distinct beat under, giving a smooth wink to Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal, before moving onto a more honey-like pre-chorus sung by Jin. As soon as the chorus hits, it gets more upbeat with a beat that makes you want to get up and dance, having delicious vocals of Jungkook, Jimin and V. In the second verse V makes a reference to Usher’s ‘U Got It Bad’. “Don’t need no Usher / To remind me you got it bad” The song gets impossibly better as soon as the rappers jump into the song, called the rapline consisting of Suga, RM and j-hope. “Ice on my wrist, I’m the nice guy / Got the right body and the right mind Rollin’ up to party, got the right vibe / Smooth like (Butter), hate us (Love us)” During RM’s part they give a nod towards their beloved and supportive fans, called ARMY. “Got ARMY right behind us when we say so.” All in all, this is the song of the summer which at this point would be very hard for anyone to deny.

It was the last night on their UK Tour and The Maine didn't show any signs of slowing down. If anything, it felt like they brought out all the stops tonight because they wouldn't know when they would be back here and wanted to give their fans some lasting memories. Kicking off their set with "Sticky", which was vibrant and fun and definitely a great choice to start with, this was followed by "Am I Pretty?" and "Pretender". Throughout the set, frontman John O'Callaghan sported a very groovy pink cowboys hat which was borrowed from a fan that was standing at the front of the crowd, ecstatic that her hat was a feature of the show. The night never really slowed down, in fact, it got even livelier when the frontman decided to ditch the stage, jump the barrier, and join the crowd in the pit. I'm not sure there wasn't a fan in that pit that would have wanted to be anywhere else that night. It's not every night that you get to mosh with John O'Callaghan from The Maine, especially in the current climate that we are in. It was a highlight of their set and the crowd did not come down from it. They were hyped up for the rest of the set by The Maine and were ready for All Time Low to come on and bring down the house. Coverage by Tyler Sams  Opening up the show was Gang51e June, his energy was amazing getting the crowd going from the moment he walked on stage. Interacting with the crowd and even jumping down to sing with fans in the crowd before getting back on stage to finish his set. He released an album “Preaching from the Projects” last year, and just released a music video for “Homicide Man” a few weeks ago, definitely worth checking out. DDG was up next, feeding off the energy of the crowd he kept everyone going the whole time. At one point inviting a bunch of people on stage to dance before the crowd voted for the best dancer. He recently released an album back in March titled “Die 4 Respect”, go check it out!
Now the moment we all waited for, the crowd went crazy when Kevin Gates took the stage. He opened the set with a slowed down version of “Cartel Swag” before getting his feathers and jumping into crowd favorites like “Imagine That”, “Time For That”, “Fatal Attraction”, and “Me Too”. The crowd was going crazy the whole time, Co2 and confetti going off tied the whole show together. He finished off the night with songs like “Big Gangsta”, “Out The Mud”, “2 Phones” and “Satellites”. This was my first time seeing him live and I loved every minute of it. I just got into his music at the end of last year and I’m so glad I was able to catch this show. There are only a few shows left on the Khaza Tour, so if you can catch a show, you will not be disappointed. Also be sure to check out his recent release “Only the Generals, Pt. II” which came out this past February. Upcoming Tour Dates: 10/27 - Knoxville, TN 10/28 - Southaven, MS 10/29 - Biloxi, MS 10/30 - Baton Rouge, LA 11/02 - North Charleston, SC 11/05 - Atlanta, GA Photo/Review By: Cheyenne Simmons  The show opened up with Leesburg, VA indie band My Kid Brother. They opened with Native Tongue which got the crowd going, it’s definitely a song that you can bop around to. They continued with other songs off their self-titled EP as well as unreleased songs. They are definitely a band to keep an eye on, and you should keep an eye out for new music from them too.
The lights went red and the stage began to rumble with music as the crowd cheered as Bad Suns took the stage. They opened with “Daft Pretty Boys” off their 2016 album ``Disappear Here”. Before heading into songs like “Dancing On Quicksand”, “Heartbreaker” and a new song “Heaven Is A Place In My Head” before closing out their set with “Cardiac Arrest”. Although their bass player had to fly home for a family emergency they put on a great set. Their new album “Apocalypse Whenever” is set to release on January 28th and can be pre-ordered now on their website. Now it’s the time everyone has been waiting for. Angels & Airwaves opened up their set with “Kiss & Tell” before heading into my personal favorite “Timebomb”, Tom also dedicated “Losing My Mind” to the kids in attendance that night. Before jumping onto “Tunnels” Tom took a moment to tell us about how the song came to be and describe to us all the feelings that he had while writing it. He told the story about losing his father to cancer and the new outlook on life it gave him. The whole story brought tears to my eyes, not because it was sad, but because of the feeling of hope that it gave. They went on to play songs like “Automatic” and “Rite Of Spring” before closing out the night with “Heaven”. Angels and Airwaves just released their new album Lifeforms last month and are on tour until November 7th before heading overseas to play some shows. Definitely check out the new album and catch a show if you can, you wont regret it! Upcoming Tour Dates: 10/26 - St. Petersburg, FL 10/27 - Orlando, FL 10/28 - Atlanta, GA 10/30 - Dallas, TX 10/31 - Austin, TX 11/01 - Houston, TX 11/03 - Phoenix, AZ 11/05 - Los Angeles, CA 11/07 - San Diego, CA Review By: Cheyenne Simmons GOJIRA, KNOCKED LOOSE, & ALIEN WEAPONRY @ JANNUS LIVE IN ST. PETERSBURGH, FL ON OCTOBER 19TH, 202110/23/2021  Check Out The Show's Photo Gallery Here
Tuesday nights are usually for rest before the rest of the work week. That notion was blown out of the water when French metal giants Gojira played to a sold out crowd in St. Petersburg. New Zealand Te Reo metal band Alien Weaponry opened the evening. If you have never seen them, change that. They are very high energy and listening to their songs, of which the majority are in Te Reo Maori, are raw. Kentucky hard core punks Knocked Loose were up next. They perfectly got the crowd excited for what was to come. The excitement grew as the kabuki drape was hung. As the minutes counted down, the crowd grew louder and chanted, “Gojira! Gojira!” Once the drape fell, the band was revealed and the crowd was deafening. From start to finish, each song was greeted by excitement, as the crowd yelled along and the pit grew larger. Gojira will continue their trek across America for the next few weeks, ending in South Carolina on November 10th before heading back to Europe. If you are lucky enough to be in their cross-hairs, do not miss this show. Coverage by Amy Breaux  Check Out The Show's Photo Gallery Here
A Day To Remember played the Anthem in Washington, DC as part of the Re Entry tour with Point North and Asking Alexandria as support. Point North took the stage first playing old favorites such as Never Coming Home and Gasoline, as well as their iconic cover of “Hammer” by Nothing, Nowhere. They also premiered a new song and played their newest single “Into The Dark” featuring Kellin Quinn. Next Asking Alexandria performed a lot of old favorites like “Alone in a Room”, “Into The Fire”, and new songs from their new album that released that night at midnight, “Alone Again”. There were crowd surfers and mosh pits and the energy in the room was elevated. Finally, ADTR took the stage with incredible production and even performed some songs that they had never played before such as “Life @ 11”. During the song “Mind Reader”, Jeremy asked for crowd surfing, on top of crowd surfers, which is a tradition at ADTR shows. ADTR continues to be one of the best performers I have seen.

Once again, this weekend I found myself at the Mercury Lounge here in New York. This time, however, with artist Goody Grace. This was the first night of his tour, and first show since the pandemic. With such an intimate venue, it was the perfect place to debut his new project, “Nostalgia Kills”. Even though this set of five songs just came out a few days ago, everyone was already singing the lyrics along with Goody. He also played some older songs, such as “Two Shots” and “Too High”, which are some obvious fan favorites that had the room feeling electric. This was one of the first shows in a while where I was a big fan already and wanted to stay for the whole set just because it felt like I would be missing out on something special if I left. It was the perfect way to start off his tour, and I know he will do amazing with the shows to come. Coverage by Tharynn Hook  The show opened with Phoenix indie-rocker Sydney Sprague. Opening up with "I refuse to die" they got the crowd warmed up, with each song the crowd grew inside. They played other songs like "steve" off their recent release "maybe I will see you at the end of the world" which dropped February 26th via rude records. Even getting the crowd excited with a cover of Blink-182's "I Miss You" where they had a guest Dan of Oso Oso join them on stage to sing.
After a brief set change, Long Beach, NY rock band Oso Oso took the stage. Their sound is amazing and you can feel the empathy behind the lyrics. The crowd sang along to every word with smiles on their faces. Clearly enjoying every moment of their performance. Once they wrapped up the set the crowd joined in to sing along with the music playing over the house speakers, even getting almost everyone to sing along to the Goo Goo Dolls ”Iris” Then it was time for Jersey folk-punk band The Front Bottoms. This was my first time seeing The Front Bottoms and I was not disappointed. They played songs like Flashlight and others off their most recent release “In Sickness & In Flames” which came out last year. They packed the venue, almost selling out the show. You could see everyone having the time of their lives singing along to every word that night. Although this was one of the last tour dates, I highly recommend attending a show the next time they tour you won’t regret it.

Like many, this was one of Meyru’s first live shows in two years. That didn’t stop them, though. In the small and intimate room of the Mercury Lounge in New York, the vibe created was exactly that. A lot of the audience was made up of close friends of the band, which made the show that much better. As soon as the beginning chords of the band’s original song, “She” came out, I knew my ears would be ringing far after the show was over. While this was one of the smallest venues I’ve been to recently, it surely made up for it in sound quality. The room was vibrating with Meyru’s music, and everyone loved it.

YUNGBLUD played to a sold-out show at O2 Academy Birmingham recently. Attendees piled into the venue and merged forwards eager to get a better view. The show can only be described as electric from start to finish. Taking to the stage after a kabuki intro, YUNGBLUD appeared and was met by deafening screams from his audience, taking it in for just a second before the show commenced. Opening with his catchy single Strawberry Lipstick he can be seen jumping about the stage, never standing in one spot for longer than 5 seconds. The audience sang along loudly, cheering YUNGBLUD on with their enthusiasm. The energy from both the crowd and YUNGBLUD himself was electric, the temperature of the room rose and rose as the room shook from the crowd's engagement. As the set progressed, frequent mosh pits opened within the packed-out crowd which was heavily encouraged by YUNGBLUD. Setlist staples such as Parents, I Love You Will You Marry Me, and Loner were eagerly accepted by the fans who sang along to every word loudly and passionately. His new single Fleabag spurred a singalong and more mosh pits, the energy never ceasing to drop. The set from start to finish was filled with energy from both the crowd and YUNGBLUD himself. Having seen him perform several times before, I was intrigued to see how he’d perform in a bigger capacity. He did not disappoint, if you get the chance to see him live; take it! His stage presence and how he can work a room is impressive, and he puts on quite a show. His combining of theatrics with the vibrant lighting matches his personality perfectly. Catch him at a show near you soon! Coverage by Kristy Fox  Check Out The Show's Photo Gallery Here
Twenty One Pilots made their way to House of Blues, in the heart of downtown Chicago, IL on October 13th 2021. Luckily for fans the rain had stopped a couple hours before the show giving people plenty of time to get ready in a line that was wrapped around and down Dearborn street for a couple blocks. All of which had proof of vaccines and/or were masked up for the duration of the show. Once the crowd was let in, House of Blues was no doubt sold out with concert-goers packed into the venue shoulder to shoulder. To prepare the restless crowd, the openers were Arrested Youth and Half Alive. Both of came out and put on a good quick show to get the crowd going. Then the moment came, Twenty One Pilots walked to the center of the stage in their black ski masks with some shiny googles ready to give the crowd what they had been waiting for. Twenty One Pilots started the show off nice and calm with “Good Day, Dema” then progressed into “No Chances.” They then went to one of their most popular songs and dropped the house with “Stressed Out.” One of the things I loved about their performance was their versatility. Their ability to switch some of their heavier songs to a peaceful song on a ukulele and their ability to cover classics like “Benny and the Jets” and “Hey there Delilah” is unmatched. Be sure to grab some tickets while you still can for their current Takeover Tour which heads next to Boston, Columbus and Atlanta. Coverage by Connor Hannan |
