Double Dagger was energy incarnate, set on fire. The bass cranked the noise in unison with the drums, pulsing through the crowd, with the lead singer jumping and screaming, leaping and crawling.

The band had a punk sound that took no prisoners. The entire band of three were extremely active, playing with intense emotion. The lead singer wove in and out of the crowd singing his heart out.

This’ll be a definite addition to my collection of sounds.

Fist Fighters were amazing. The lead singer delivered killer vocals. Strong like Ann Wilson of Heart, she rocked the house along with a great bassist and drummer. Their sound was incredible and unique.

This band, too, was filled to the brim with energy. Each member giving it their all, each captivating the audience with their energy, talent, and feeling.

I will definitely go to see this band again. They were incredible to watch and to experience overall.

Experimental Dental School took the stage and allowed the audience to come right up to the very front of the platform, inches away from them. Then they let it rip. They kicked serious ass with standing room only. A ribbon of lights was wrapped around the microphone stand and the drums, adding a unique touch to this band’s energy. 

Experimental Dental School tore through their set like a bat out of hell, pounding the rythyms and vocals, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

They’re just an awesome band.

Album to follow. Can’t happen soon enough.
