Event Reviews
Bon Jovi
Despite rain and hot weather, Bon Jovi heads back to Philly to give them yet another taste of some bad medicine. Brittany Sturges approves.
Dashboard Confessional
It was a Dashboard Confessional weekend at Orlando's House of Blues, with three consecutive sold-out shows. Jen Cray gave it a chance.
The Format
The ambitious sounds of The Format are Pet Sounds-era The Beach Boys for the Fall Out Boy audience. Unorthodox instrumentation, perfectly crafted melodies, and beautiful vocals that have the slightest hint of modern day emo whine, but not enough to make Jen Cray cringe.
Now It's Overhead
Athens, GA indie rockers Now Its Overhead now call two members of Orlando's Summerbirds In The Cellar bandmates. Their recent homecoming show, with Summerbirds opening up, was an event Jen Cray could not miss.
Sounds of the Underground Tour
This year's annual Sounds of the Underground tour promises to deliver the heaviest metal this side of Ozzfest to Orlando's Tinker Field. Jen Cray was there for As I Lay Dying, Gwar, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, and a half-dozen other bands as they turned a baseball diamond into a mosh pit.
Yellowcard
Yellowcard saves the day on an otherwise uneventful night. Brittany Sturges was won over.
