I'm telling you, they were amazing live! I'm getting more and more into their CD's, too. Got a very unique sound.

+ Four Year Strong actually didn't consist of the "lets get closer to the band" kids. Surprisingly the whole place was nonstop moshing and crowdsurfing. There are chairs at the side of the venue and needless to say many of them made it into the crowd and people were jumping off them.

Hmm, that sucks. I remember looking up some videos of Gallows live earlier on the tour, and everybody was just standing around looking bored, so I thought it was gonna be very meh last night. Maybe people just go harder in Chicago?

And there was a lot of moshing going on for Four Year Strong, just the pit wasn't as big since everybody wanted to get close and jump up and down. Which is fine by me, I think that's fun to do at a concert.

I wish I didn't miss 1/3 of it getting my hand wrapped up, but yeah, DAT SET! It was awesome. I need to see them headline in some small shitty venue someday.

I think he's Wade, the ex-guitarist/vocalist from Alexisonfire, they disbanded not so long ago. Sounds like an incredibly fun show, sucks I missed this in Montreal, it must had been crazy! I wish I can see Gallows sometime, I really love their southern rock influenced hardcore punk sound, and if they're that good live, I'll have to catch them next time they come here for sure!

I saw them in a record store with such gold, and a small shitty rave club with touche amore & dead end path both in the same day. that was a good day.
