They opened the night with an aggressive, screaming, hair-flipping set that left the already sweaty crowd drenched by the end of it. Lead vocalist Matt Young — shirtless […]
Monday is the most emo of days. So, naturally the 2000s two-punch of Coheed and Cambria hitting the stage with Taking Back Sunday on Monday, September 15th in San Diego was more than fitting for the whole elder emo scene to show.

Creed made a triumphant return to the bay on Saturday, August 9th, when they rolled through Mountain View, California’s Shoreline Amphitheater for the Summer of ’99 Tour with special guests Sevendust and Mammoth.

There was a reason I love watching metalcore shows; you can feel the energy of each song when you listen it, radiating off each musician onstage as they slam on their instruments.
