Four Year Strong
Four Year Strong on the line up was a big selling point for me, these guys consistently sounds great and always put on a good show. The last time that they toured the US was back in 2012 on Van’s Warped Tour so a lot of people were anxiously awaiting their return. As soon as they dove into their first song the crowd exploded with people shouting lyrics back at the band. It was clear a lot of people were excited for the return of Four Year Stong.
Bayside
I am always excited when I hear Bayside is coming around, they don’t do backflips or trash the stage, they are actually quite subdued compared to a lot of the bands I like to go see. So what’s the point of going? They always sound great, they’re constantly changing up their setlist and they make a genuine connection with their fans. I will always stand behind bands like this where you remember that it is about the music. They played about 20 song set featuring a mix of some of their old classics and some of their songs off the new album “Cult,” all the newer songs were very well received amongst the sold out crowd. Lead vocalist, Anthony Raneri has such smooth, versatile vocals it’s easy to get drawn in. Bassist, Nick Ghanbarian is one of my favorites to watch, he does a good job of coming to the top of the stage and getting in your face. He adds a level of diversity to the band, just enough that they are able to feed off his energy and put out a great show. Throughout their set the crowd got more and more amped up eventually breaking into a circle pit towards the end of their set. This is definitely a band to watch, whether it be a headlining show, an opening act or even a set at Warped Tour.
