LIVE REVIEW: The Great American Cult Tour – Cleveland, OH 3/5/14 (Photos)
Opening night of the Great American Cult Tour took place in Cleveland, OH last week. As Bayside’s first headlining tour in some time, I was prepared for a fantastic show. I wasn’t disappointed. I asked local photographer Andy Wells to accompany me and his pictures from the show can be found below. The lineup: Ohio’s […]
LIVE REVIEW: Vans Warped Tour in Melbourne, Australia
After an 11 year hiatus, the Vans Warped Tour returned to Melbourne, Australia on the weekend and our very own Brenton Harris was there to embrace it like an old friend. See his review below. In 2002 as a 16-year-old kid, I attended the Vans Warped Tour at Mornington Racecourse and so began my great […]
LIVE REVIEW: Will Yip’s Studio 4 Session With Anthony Green And Tigers Jaw
Under the Gun Review was able to send staff writer Dan Bogosian to Will Yip’s Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania to review the second ever Studio 4 Session with Anthony Green and Tigers Jaw. When Will Yip first announced the Studio 4 Sessions, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. On one hand, […]
LIVE REVIEW: O’Brother, Native, and Daylight (9/13/13)
Under The Gun Review sent staff writer, Drew Caruso, to the Brighton Music Hall in Allston, MA on Sept. 13 to experience O’Brother with support from Native and Daylight. I find myself having quite the hard time attempting to put what I had seen, heard, felt, and lost at the Boston stop of the O’Brother, […]
LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS: The Gaslight Anthem + Laura Stevenson and the Cans (Dec 3 at 930 Club, DC)
Earlier this month I made my way out to the 930 Club in Washington DC to see the very popular rock group The Gaslight Anthem with Laura Stevenson and the Cans. Normally I shy away from the 930 Club (although it’s not a terrible venue) because generally a lot of the acts that play there […]
CONCERT REVIEW: David Bazan Band – ‘Control’ Tenth Anniversary
There are only a handful of concerts that can be more than a fun night out for you and whoever you show go with. When I saw Jeff Mangum, it meant the world to me because those songs meant the world to me, and I never thought I would have the opportunity to see him […]
LIVE REVIEW: Gwar – Toad’s Place, New Haven, Connecticut 10/15/2012
There are generally two kinds of live shows I go to: shows where you see some bands that you put on a pedestal; you worship them wherever they go and you have to know everything they do, they swallow you whole and devour your soul. Your taste curbs to their output, even when it shames […]
LIVE REVIEW: Stars – Lawrence, Kansas 10/9/2012
I am always amazed by the contrast in some of my experiences with a band. Prior to walking into The Bottleneck, a modestly-sized yet historic Midwest venue in Lawrence, Kansas, my only experience with Stars had been at Austin City Limits in the company of 35,000 people. Yet, even in such overwhelmingly unimpressive conditions, the […]
LIVE REVIEW: The Gaslight Anthem – Lawrence Kansas
As the sweat pours from my body, drops creep down the bridge of my nose and catching on the paper on which I’m currently scribbling these notes. Searching the facility for water like a lost explorer in the desert, flashbacks of experiencing Gaslight Anthem at Austin City Limits flutter through my mind. Shockingly, that performance […]
