"The Silence Follows" tour featuring ERRA and Currents is the must-see metalcore tour this year! Each band delivered a punch that electrified the crowd while exploring various styles within hardcore and metalcore. The opening band “Aviana” hails from Sweden, and they blew my mind. I had never heard of them, and I am the kind of person who wants to get to shows early to watch the openers, even when I don’t know them. I also believe that the best way to experience new music

Inside the four walls of the Orpheum in Tampa, Florida, the stage is set. Fans trickle in from the long line snaking around the building outside. Once located in historic Ybor City, the Orpheum has been enjoying its new location since 2020, welcoming an array of amazing bands and artists. Though many came to see the amazing band Eidola on their Eviscerate/Mend Tour, I can assure you that many left with a new band and new music to explore after Astronoid wowed the crowd with t

On March 13, 2026, The Met welcomed Mihali with the opener Jesse Bardwell. As a photographer, I like The Met and I am always delighted to photograph concerts there. This popular mid-sized no frills music venue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, is known for hosting a diverse range of live music (indie, punk, hip-hop, and folk) and comedy shows in an intimate setting with great acoustics. More than 420 devoted fans attended the show.  It was a wonderful night of music with a high-ene

Two decades after If Only You Were Lonely put heartbreak on the map for an entire generation, Hawthorne Heights returned to the iconic First Avenue in Minneapolis on March 9th, 2026, to remind us why the album became a staple of the mid-2000s emo scene. The band played the record in full, but not before supporting acts Creeper and Letlive delivered theatrical, emotional, and chaotic sets that hyped the crowd for a night built on celebration and nostalgia.

The Butcher Babies came to town on March 10th, 2026 and tore it up on a Tuesday at Piere’s Entertainment Center.  Jeris Johnson was originally supposed to headline the night, but due to his ongoing illness he had to drop off this show.  Eva Under Fire was also supposed to join the party, but with van problems they were forced to drop off the remainder of the Jeris Johnson tour.  Butcher Babies stepped up and went from supporting act to headliner.  The night was kicked off in

On March 9th 2026 at The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver BC, Nothing More’s Carnal Tour took the city by storm. The night kicked off with Doobie, who immediately impressed me with a crisp, well-balanced sound. Their lead vocalist showcased incredible control and technique throughout the set, delivering powerful vocals while maintaining a gritty edge. They were quite fun to photograph, as they brought a lively stage presence with lots of movement and energy. An unexpected

It's a cool clear evening here at the Conduit, at the corner of Aloma and Forsyth. Long before the doors open, fans line the sidewalk, ready and eager to claim a front-row spot for tonight's show.

The career trajectory of artists and groups in the alternative music scene are always fascinating studies, and Bad Omens journey might be one of the more interesting to glance at in recent memory. The band has been grinding it out since 2014, steadily releasing albums and touring as the first or second support on bills, but it was their 2022 album The Death Of Peace Of Mind that put them on the map outside of the core fanbase. In the last few years, Bad Omens’ career has rece

Three Days Grace's Alienation Tour melted The Giant Center at Hershey. They brough along two bands that could not be further across on the rock spectrum from each other, The Funeral Portrait and I Prevail. Each band had hordes of rabid fans in attendance. I arrived at the venue about an hour before it was scheduled to start and the lines to get in were halfway around this very large arena complex.

ERRA is back with a new era… Okay, all bad puns and dad jokes aside, ERRA is back with their newest release, “Silence Outlives the Earth.” I'll admit right away that this album is fantastic. It has atmosphere, grit, clean production, and if you haven’t already listened to it, I highly recommend you do. “Silence Outlives the Earth” has the classic ERRA sound and feel, but they also explore new realms in sound and lyrically. Now let’s dive into “Silence Outlives the Earth.”

Social Distortion released its first new music in 15 years. “Bork to Kill” the lead single off of the new album also called Born to Kill slated to be released on May 8th, 2026. At times it seemed like this song and album were never going to be officially released. Born to Kill is actually a song the band has played live going back as early as 2018, but it was well worth the wait to have it officially released.

PINKNOISE, the genre-bending hard rock band lead by singer Kasey Foxx has caught the attention of many on streaming platforms and social media.  With the core mission behind their genre-bending musical project being about telling their story as authentically as possible, the mission has already been a success.  I predict PINKNOISE will blow up with a quickness. With immensely relatable lyrics and the purest of voices that can transition from comforting melodic tones to face-m
