Now here's a show I was really looking forward to. A last-minute change in plans afforded me an opportunity to go check this band out - something I hungered for since I so adore The Airing of Grievances. Live, however, this band is shit. Nothing was mic'd properly, and I don't think it was the engineer's fault since the opener and headliner sounded perfect. No, this is a band that needs a lot more practice honing their live act. Non-stop screaming into the mic might be fine if you're going for the hard-core aesthetic, but you sound like Trail of Dead on album, kids.
