Concert Review: Pure Chaos and Broken Ankles: 156/Silence and Fox Lake Tear Down Montage Music Hall
"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.

Concert Review: Dayseeker with Sace6, Wind Walkers and Northlane at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO
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.

Concert Review: August Burns Red and The Amity Affliction at The Fillmore in Minneapolis, MN
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.

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

Concert Review: Country Thunder Florida 2026 Festival
There’s something surreal about hearing thousands of people sing country songs steps away from the water as the Florida sunset spills across the skyline - and somehow, Country Thunder Florida 2026 made it feel effortless.

Concert Review: Failure at Le Poisson Rouge, Manhattan, NY
he first thing you notice when walking to Le Poisson Rouge, the 700-cap club in Manhattan’s East Village, is the age range in the massive line wrapped around the block. It’s not uncommon to see bands within the 90s alternative rock circuits attracting massive legions of fans that weren’t around during their commercial comeups (with bands like Deftones, Slowdive, and Duster to name just a handful), but it’s rare to see them pack out clubs instead of stadiums.

Concert Review: Sing Us Home Festival in Manayunk, PA
The 2026 Sing Us Home Festival in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia was a huge success! The family friendly festival brought out people of all ages, with so much more than music. The food and drinks were delicious, there were so many activities like tattoos, haircuts, festival braids, and local small artists selling their work, as well as info booths like, Punk Rock Saves Lives and Planned Parenthood.

Concert Review: Silversun Pickups and Giant Waste of Man at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA
In an era where we pay monthly subscriptions to have the same bands and songs fed to us on repeat, true musical discovery feels like a lost art. Even streaming algorithms, designed for "discovery," often feel catered and repetitive, making it increasingly difficult to find new sounds from smaller, independent acts.

Concert Review: Searows at Webster Hall, NY
The silence in between Searows’ songs feels like an expansion of the atmosphere, not an inhibitor. In the place of traditional ambient tones and excruciating stage banter in between songs, Alec Duckart, the artist known as Searows, tunes his guitar, keeping the dialogue to a minimum. Occasionally, he will thank the audience for coming, tell everyone to let their imagination run wild, or give a cheeky hint towards the last song being “the very last song, with no more after thi
