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.

Ugh. Paste’s profile of Free Energy made me kind of hate them. So does your review. It’s this unctuous defense of good-time rock-and-roll ("we’re just here to party, and we’re awesome!") that seems more self-serving than fun-loving.

that inescapable feeling you are referring to, is that like when you hear something and you could have sworn you heard it before because of the nostalgic catchy quality? or is is like when you’ve heard a band exactly like said band?
great post by the way!

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.
