First to take the stage was Siickbrain. Also known as Caroline Miner Smith, the rock act played an energy filled 25-minute set. With one EP and a handful of singles released, Siickbrain did a great job of warming up this audience. Calling for the first mosh pits of the night, Siickbrain’s stage presence was undeniable. Fans were loving the music coming from the stage, and the night had officially started.

Next to keep the energy going was Grandson. Also known as Jordan Edward Benjamin, the rock act has released five EP’s and one full length album. Grandson’s music brings powerful messages of love while still keeping that pounding hard rock feel. His hit singles reflect current political and social climates, demanding for a change while refusing to hold back. One prominent example of this is his hit song “Blood // Water” speaking about political corruption. Another one would be “Thoughts and Prayers”, demanding more gun control after the tragic shooting at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. These anthems have united his fan base, and given grandson a platform and message to spread using his music.

Grandson’s set was 30 minutes of powerful music and an alive crowd. He made sure to address the audience, urging them to connect with those standing around them. He created a very welcoming environment, while still speaking so strongly about these issues.

  1. 6:00
  2. Riptide
  3. We Did It!!!

The third band to take the stage was Knocked Loose. The metalcore band was formed in 2013 and has released two full length studio albums and a handful of EP’s. Frontman Bryan Garris delivers a vocal punch that really sets the band apart. Their music is hard, and the audience loved it.

The pit in the middle of the room reopened with their first song, and only continued to grow throughout their set. Crowd surfers came pouring over the barricade as they continued playing hit after hit. Knocked Loose is also known for their powerful breakdowns, which was perhaps the heaviest music played that night. Pounding double bass drums and dense guitar chords blasted through the auditorium as fans headbanged to the beat.

Their 11-song set was more than enough to get the crowd ready for the final band, Bring Me The Horizon. They made sure to thank the crew and tour for having them, as well as the fans for choosing to spend their weekday night with them.
