Something for everyone Silverstein is always Great
This was my first time at The Sinclair. I like the venue. Plenty of room, but still intimate and plenty of places to watch from. I also like that there are multiple levels to choose from as well as tables to watch from too (when you don't want to be in the pit of course...). Anyway, the show started with Glass Cloud. I saw them before on the AP tour and wasn't impressed then and I'm not now. I think their guitarist has a challenging job, but I don't like anything else. Lots of reverb and echo on the "singer's" voice.
Issues was interesting because they seem to meld a lot of different genres. The ex-singer from Woe is Me could easily be making timberlake-esq pop music for tons more money, haha, but I like the change between his voice and the guy who screams (good screams too). They only have an EP out now. It'll be interesting if they stay together and make an LP sometime. I'd see them again live.
Secrets commanded a lot of energy from the crowd, but they seemed like generic screamo to me. Nothing stood out about them really, but they weren't bad. This was also when a pretty large fight started on the floor. They cleared it up pretty fast, but it's been a while since I saw a fight like that at a show, haha.
Like Moths to Flames is off and on for me. I think they put on a good show, but there are only a couple songs I think are actually good.
Then it was Silverstein's turn. When you listen to Silverstein's extensive discography, and you haven't seen them live, you may think they have two singers. They do not. Their lead singer seamlessly transfers from a great melodic voice to strong screaming and it's great. I still can't figure out how he does it so well. They played for about an hour or more and it was all great. They have a lot to choose from, but they know which ones really mean something to the audience. The new cd is really good too, so the new stuff fits well and you're not bored, waiting for the old stuff. I will always go see SIlverstein live and you should too.
