It was my first experience seeing this masterpiece from Sweden known as Avatar and it was awe-inspiring. For a warm and rainy Tuesday night show the venue was packed with fans of all ages itching at the chance to witness this gathering. From a full parking lot and a line that seemed to go on for ages, there was a feeling that the evening was going to be full of pure bliss.

After bursting onto the rock scene in 2014 with their debut album “The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets” followed by their acclaimed sophomore project, “Knowing What You Know Now”, the Marmozets all but vanished from the music world. Eight years later, after COVID, finding regular jobs, marriage, and becoming parents, the Bingley based alt-rock group is set to unleash their long awaited new album, “Co.War.Dice”, on May 22, 2026.

The Royale, a nightclub on Tremont Street in Boston, MA, welcomed Oteil & Friends—headed by Oteil Burbridge—on May 17, 2026. The sold-out show was exceptional, and a man sitting next to me remarked that this was an extraordinary group of musicians playing unique jams, and that we were all so lucky to hear it. I completely agreed.

I just got done listening to Not in Our City 2. This was right up my alley. I have always been a fan of compilations. Growing up, I always looked forward to Punk-O-Rama, Punk Goes…, and the numerous Fat Wreck Chords compilations, just to name a few. It’s something I feel like we are robbed of as we’ve moved into this digital era of music. Sure, we get curated Spotify playlists, but it’s just not quite the same. To me, a compilation goes beyond artists who are similar.

Opening the show was the Deathcore outfit from the Netherlands. The energy was high from the get-go as they pummeled the crowd with bone shaking breakdowns, juicy riffs, and brutal vocals. No time was wasted to open the bit as even I found myself tucking the camera and getting my two step on as the moshers made their presence known. A very good display from Distant as I’m certain many new fans were made that night including me.

"156/Silence," "Fox Lake," and "Quantifier's" sold-out show at Montage Music Hall was a show that you just had to be at. It was pure chaos fueled with adrenaline, mosh pits, crowd surfers, and walls of death. In a club venue that I have been going to for years, this was one of, if not the craziest crowd I was a part of.

Dayseeker recently kicked off “The Pale Moonlight Tour”, a sold-out tour which included a stop in St. Louis, MO. VIP sold out quickly, with general admission selling out days after. That should be enough to prove what a great band they are. The tour featured three openers.

August Burns Red and The Amity Affliction brought their co-headlining tour to Minneapolis, and for a Tuesday night, the crowd showed up ready to bring the energy. The Amity Affliction recently released their new album “House of Cards” this April, marking their first release since former vocalist and bassist Ahren Stringer’s departure last February. They opened their set with newer material but still made sure to include fan favorites like “Pittsburgh” and “Soak Me in B
