I rarely leave a concert thinking ill of the majority of bands that played, but “The Alternative Press tour” last Friday at The Rave’s Eagles Ballroom was definitely an exception.
The tour featured opening acts, Forever the Sickest Kids, Sonny, and The Matches, coupled with co-headliners, The Rocket Summer and All Time Low. By the end, I was less than impressed with the bands chosen, save one.
Bombarding the crowd early was an uncomfortably loud, and haphazard mash-up of noises by Forever the Sickest Kids. Though trying to keep an open mind, any and all patience quickly wore thin in the ensuing musical mess.
You know a band is maybe too emo when all the members have longer hair than a majority of the girls in the crowd. Such was the case with the next opener, Sonny. I applauded his attempt at falsetto singing, but the only people who should really go that high are Anthony Green from Circa Survive or Tom Chaplin of Keane.
