I wrote this whole review of the A Day to Remember concert in Montreal with August Burns Red, Enter Shikari and Veara full of recommendations, album reviews and links but i accidentally hit something and it deleted itself so basically you get this:
The concert was good.
Veara is mediocre and generic post-hardcore.
Moshometer rating- moshish
Enter Shikari is the greatest band in the world so go listen to everything they’ve ever released (if you don’t like them at first, give them a chance to grow on you. They’re that kind of band).
Moshometer rating- moshmobiles (with a side order of hardcore pits)
August Burns Red kind of scares me and, while I’m all for screaming, for some reason theirs just doesn’t do it for me. Here’s a video I took of the crazy shit that was going down during them performance.
Moshometer rating- hardcore pit brutality (with a circle pit or two for good measure)
I went upstairs for ABR because I was tired from Enter Shikari and wanted to save my energy for
A Day to Remember is great. Go see them. The Floridians start with a video and while it was pretty cheesy (let’s just say that musicians are not actors nor are they comedians) it was a memorable and original way to start a show. The setlist was great and the moshing was solid.
Moshometer rating- moshgasm
Keep it (post) hardcore, guys
