Frank Turner, Andrew Jackson Jihad and Into It. Over It. at the Republik, Calgary, Alberta [Concert]

The show at The Republik on Thursday, October 20^th in Calgary, Alberta shared many similarities with a three-layer cake. In a three-layer cake, each level brings its own attributes to the table. Each level is delicious, but in its own unique way, and as a whole is enjoyable. The same can be said for the three musical acts that graced the intimate stage of the Republik. Each of the artists brought a distinct flavor to the night’s events, and as a whole, the show was very enjoyable. Evan Weiss/Into It. Over It (the soft and delicious angel food cake layer) started off the night. The smooth chocolaty inside of the cake, Andrew Jackson Jihad, played second. Last but not least, Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls finished off the night (and the cake) with a smooth top layer and a cherry on top.

Bring Me The Horizon and Guests at MacEwan Hall – Calgary, AB [Concerts]

 

Saturday, September 10^th Union Events and Epitaph showcased a bevy of heavy music acts performing at MacEwan Hall in Calgary, Alberta. All of the bands except for Of Legends hailed from different continents, bringing some international flair to the night’s events.

Some of the bands played an awesome show to a raucous Calgary crowd, but one of the bands crossed a boundary that left a bad taste in my mouth, and I’m sure in many others too.
