Show Review: Swie Back, Aushua, Brian Bonz, Plushgun
Last night I headed to Vineland, NJ to see my friend Edwin's band open for Nightmare of You at Hangar 84. After a cheesesteak at Donkey's Place around the corner, a guest and I braved the rain and headed back into the small but still practically empty venue to the sounds of an unidentified local opener that I hopefully won't be seeing again. We headed for the bleachers at the back to sit down for the show, a decision I will probably be repeating at Hangar 84 to avoid the awkward standing about between bands that invariably occurs at smaller shows at out-of-the-way venues.
After a set change, Swie Back took the stage, playing an assortment of their own material to a small crowd of their friends and the members of the other bands. Their sound is reminiscent of the latest mewithoutYou album (I later discovered the drummer takes lessons from mewithoutYou's drummer) with audible Brand New influences and possibly arena rock leanings (though that may have just been the boomy sound in a near-empty venue). They put on a decent show for such a young band, with only a few barely noticable mistakes that they dealt with professionally by simply continuing the set (not walking off early like the previous band).
Following Swie Back, the touring support acts began with Californian outfit Aushua, whose epic melodic rock sounded too big for such a small venue. Their polished tunes had few flaws-the only ones I noticed were some unfortunately dischordant notes from the keys/synth. Next to perform was Brooklyn singer-songwriter Brian Bonz, whose sarcastic musings were accompanied by his own acoustic guitar and instrumentation provided by various members of the other touring bands (he had already joined Aushua onstage to provide tambourine for one song). Seeming more comfortable than most, Bonz regaled the audience with stories about the tour and a brief freestyle rap.
Plushgun is one of the many bands incorporating electronic and dance elements into more traditional rock formats, and I must say does an unusually good job at it. The frontman is a bit less campy or over-the-top than many within this genre, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view. I was excited to see them live following my post about $99 music videos, which contained a video of theirs that I thought was quite good, and they more than met my expectations. Unfortunately I had to leave before Nightmare of You played in order to make curfew back at my summer job in Maryland, but my guest and I both thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Show Review: August Burns Red, Bless the Fall, Enter Shikari, Iwrestledabearonce
If you’re ever having a bad day, week, month, or entire summer, then you’re clearly in need of a good hardcore show. To say this show was good, however, is like saying that the sun is warm - it’s a gross understatement. This was one of the best hardcore shows I’ve ever seen, and I was once one of those kids who went to a show each week, so I’ve seen quite a few.
The show started off with this band, iwrestledabearonce. Having never heard them before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. When a girl stepped on stage, I figured it’d either be something absolutely terrible, or something along the liens of Flee the Seen, being not nearly as heavy as ABR. So yeah, I was pretty wrong about that one. Frontwoman Krysta Cameron is brutal. She did all of the vocals, ranging from a death metal growl that would make small children cry to singing both very powerful melodies to extremely timid ones. She would switch back and forth on the slightest whim as well. Now being a guitarist, you’ve gotta do a good job at wowing me instrumentally as well. Not only did iwrestledabearonce have some crazy vocals, but they kept things extremely interesting with lots of genre changes, similar to what you’d see with some Between the Buried and Me songs, but slightly more frequent. Basically if I could be in a band, it would be something extremely reminiscent of these guys. I was impressed enough to actually go and buy their CD after the show (perhaps I’ll have a later segment in this blog on my view of piracy, coming from an artist). For the opening act, I don’t know that you can do much better.
With such an incredible first band, I expected to be slightly disappointed by the other two leading up to ABR. However, hailing from the UK, Enter Shikari was yet another wow experience. I really enjoy when people experiment with their music and come up with sounds that you haven’t heard before or, at the very least, don’t hear often. These guys did that with some strange mixture of techno-esque beats and synth sounds with a healthy mix of screaming and singing. It was unique, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was kinda strange at times, when within a single song you couldn’t decide whether you were supposed to be dancing or moshing. Jumping around in a more jovial manner would turn into a pit with the little scene kids and their windmill kicks and whatnot almost instantaneously. It’d also be interesting to note that they have an extremely different sound live than they do on their recorded material. In listening to them online just now, they are much more reserved in their recording. Live they seem to have a lot more raw vocal power than the processed sound of the studio. If I was going to buy a second CD at this show, it would have probably been theirs.
Still waiting for the almost inevitable flop that far too many shows seem to have, the third band, Bless the Fall, took the stage and I took a pessimistic stand. Perhaps I’ve just seen too many really exceptional bands with really unexceptional bands. Though I wasn’t quite as wowed with these guys, they still had a great sound and put on a great show. Their sound was a little bit more commonplace, and not as experimental, but still really solid and thoroughly enjoyable. They were really good, honestly, but at this point in writing this review, I’m just more anxious to get to ABR’s set, so this is getting cut short. Seriously, look all of these guys up online if you’ve never heard of them before.
So then comes the set change for ABR… With such anticipation for what everyone knew would be pure insanity, the set change took forever. I guess a few people couldn’t wait for things to go crazy, so they started a bit early. There were two girls who went into an all-out brawl prior to ABR taking the stage. I saw very little of it, but the few seconds I caught when I turned around to see what the commotion was were pretty intense. ABR finally took the stage shortly thereafter and everyone else got to go crazy. They started out with a few of their new songs, then played a few older ones and continued with a very healthy mix of old and new. Having not listened to the new songs too much, I was less familiar with them, but thoroughly impressed. Usually when a band first goes on tour with a new set list, it takes a while until the new songs are played as well as the old ones, but, as I gave an extremely critical ear to the new material, everything seemed to be dead on. A while back I had read some of the comments on their myspace saying that the new material wasn’t as brutal and whatnot, but it still is very much so, at least live.Despite it being an amazing show and ABR’s performance being pretty insane, there were a few things that I wasn’t too pleased about. In the midst of playing their new material they announced that they had the new album for sale at the show, even though the release date is the 14th. Sure that’s great and all, but being one of the people who preordered it, I was a little upset to find out that I would have to continue to wait while other people did not. Also, they didn’t play The Seventh Trumpet. If anyone has seen them live, The Seventh Trumpet pretty much redefines epic. It’s probably one of the best songs ever written by a person. To see them and not have that show in their set was troubling. However, I still got my mosh on, got to crowd surf, and saw one of the best lineups ever.
