Title Fight was, by far, the craziest crowd experience I've ever been a
part of at a show. More so than Ceremony and Origin combined. I know
people always say stuff about how as soon as the band starts, people go
crazy? That literally was what happened here. As soon as the band
started the intro to "Numb, But I Still Feel It," the number of
stage-divers was in the teens by the time the actual song started. It
kept up all night long with tons of divers, moshing and surfers. The set
contained mostly songs from their last album "Floral Green," but I'm
super okay with that. Maybe the hugest response of the night came from
"Secret Society." Title Fight is, like all good punk music, extremely
bass driven and the sound and mixing was loud but still super clear.
When they kicked it into overdrive like with "You Can't Say Kingston
Doesn't Love You" and "Symmetry," the D-Beat drums came through and only
facilitated more and more stage dives. It seemed like everyone took one
last launch off the stage during the closing number "27" and although
they ended after that, people stuck around wanting more. Short and
sweet, just as it should be. One of the best concert experiences ever.
Opening for Title Fight was KC's Clairaudients. They're one of the more
interesting local bands - their sound is very easy to take in but pretty
hard to pin down exactly just what kind of music they are. There's
elements of post-hardcore, blues, noise rock, shoegaze, melodic
hardcore, and more. They blend this all together to switch seamlessly
from rocking out to chillaxing in, and they do it all brilliantly.
Really looking forward to seeing them again.
The first band to play was Sovereign States. They're the band that plays
the cover show at a bar in town every Monday. Their original songs
weren't so bad! In the pop punk/melodic hardcore vein, it was pretty
good. When they tried to do other stuff, it kinda hurt a bit, but that
might be because their vocalist was coming down off a cold. Huge props
for covering Saves The Day's "At Your Funeral." Any band who does that
gets an automatic pass from me!
