Under The Gun’s Head of Photography, Corbin Alvae, stopped over at the Fight The Silence Tour on February 10 at The Crofoot in Pontiac, MI.
Well would you look at that– right back at it again at my home venue of The Crofoot in Pontiac, MI. I love this place to death and I was very excited to be covering such a solid tour here once again.
I showed up to the venue right when my good friends in Alive In Standby were sound checking. I didn’t realize that there was locals on this– I assumed it was just the tour itself performing, but having a solid local band opening was an awesome touch to kick off the night. Even though the band had a short set, they didn’t hesitate to use every second of it to get that venue hyped up a little for what was coming on the Fight The Silence tour. Right after them, Texas metalcore band Fit For A King took to the stage to shred and melt the faces off the Pontiac fans. FFAK stopped at nothing to bring a solid performance. After them, Ohio metal band The Plot In You took to the stage to destroy– and I must say, I’ve seen these fellas plenty of times and they just never disappoint whatsoever; from start to finish, super solid, and holy hell do those tracks hit hard. Next up we had Stray From The Path. This was my first time seeing them live and I’ve been told by friends that they are a band that puts on a great show. They sure were right! I was very impressed. Right after them we had metalcore band Like Moths To Flames ready to tear up the venue’s stage. Nothing stopped this hard hitting Ohio band from putting on one solid performance to remember, leaving fans begging for more. Lastly we had our headliner For Today all ready to get these hyped-up fans off their feet and moving. The band surely put on a hell of a show, playing tracks off their newest album Fight The Silence and various other tracks from their earlier works. Definitely a band not to miss if you’re looking to witness some super hard-hitting metal.
Overall, the Fight The Silence tour was jam-packed with solid acts from start to finish, leaving fans extremely happy to be a part of a tour that was perfect in my books. Below are some photos I captured. Enjoy!
