So hardcore is back in GR! Well… at least it was for this night. This was one of the best shows I have ever seen in GR. Each band ripped the energy was so high, and it felt like a hardcore show. POSITIVE NOISE started the night with a 10 minute set of ripping HC punk. You could just feel the energy from the start it was awesome for sure. Next was the touring band BURDENS… fuck they ripped it up with some heavy fucking hardcore. Great dudes and a great band. I love when you meet a band that is just filled with great people and don’t have to pretend to like them because they rip. I hope I get to play more shows with this band because they rule. Next was the new Michigan band THE GREAT REVERSALS coming from the ashes of PROPHET OF THE DAWN… this band is the new big thing in Michigan. Fuck they played a tight ripping set. I had chills while they played it ruled so hard. Plenty of mosh was had by some, and this band makes you realize why you do this. Next was DAMAGES who played another ripping set of pissed HC punk. This was also the ep release for them and believe me this shit fucking rips. It was recorded by the great Kevin Kitchel. DAMAGES will be the band to put GR HC back on the map if they stick together. I heard the guitar player has cancer and I really hope he pulls through. This show made me want to just play fast and listen to tons of HC punk. These are the kinds of shows we will remember forever. Hardcore rules in GR lets keep it moving forward. This was also at the new space THE CAGE great job Trent the space rules. More shows like this please!
