My friends and I showed up at this show a little later than we planned,
so we did not catch the first band. Between some of my friends not being on
the guest list that they were supposed to be on and the struggle to find a
way for them to get in so that they were not stranded in New Jersey, that was
the last thing on my mind. Luckily, I was told that the first band to go on,
Low End Theory was pretty bad anyway.
After Low End Theory finished, From Autumn To Ashes went on. Recently, From Autumn To Ashes have become a big part of the New York Hardcore Scene.
Since I had never really heard or seen them before this show, I was very
interested in what they would be like. I personally didn't see anything that
seemed so special about them. The music was not bad, but the vocals just
weren't that good at all. The crowd was very into them, and watching kids
dance to them was much more exciting than watching them perform. The last
song that they played was "Short Stories with Tragic Endings". This song
featured vocals from Melanie Wills of the band One True Thing. If it weren't
for this song, they would have had a very bad set. Seeing a girl singing
with a hardcore band was extremely cool. She had an awesome voice and she
really saved their set. I definitely plan on finding more out about her band.
The next band to go on was Most Precious Blood. Although, I have never
been a big fan of Most Precious Blood, I had always been impressed by their
performance. At this show, I was not so impressed. They did not have as
much energy as they usually do. They opened with "Less Than Zero" and they
closed with "Hallowed be Thy Name". Once again, watching the kids dance in
the pit was more entertaining than the actual band on stage was.
The second to last band that went on was Piebald. They were a nice break
from the hardcore bands that had just played. It was now time for the
emo/indie rock kids to have their fun. Piebald played a very good set. They
opened with "American Hearts", which was quite a crowd-pleaser. They played
mostly new songs off of their new album We Are The Only Friends We Have, such
as "Just a Simple Plan", "Long Nights" and "King of the Road". They closed
with "Grace Kelly with Wings", and played a great set.
Finally, it was time for Thursday to take the stage. Since Thursday are
from right around the area of New Jersey that Club Krome is located, having
their show sell out was very big for them. They played the songs that they
usually play, like, "Porcelain", "Paris in Flames", "Understanding in a Car
Crash" and "Cross-out the Eyes". Two great surprises about their set was
when they played the songs "Dying in New Brunswick" and "This Side of
Brightness", which are songs off of their album Waiting, that they rarely
play anymore. Every single time that I see Thursday, they put a more
energetic, thrilling show than the last.
I really enjoyed this show a lot. Seeing Thursday come as far as selling
out Club Krome made the atmosphere of the show very high-spirited. I know
that I thought the show was incredible and I'm pretty sure that everyone else
that attended it did to!
