Had a blast at The Ritz in Raleigh catching these energetic bands on a beautiful evening in one of the coolest clubs in North Carolina.

One Step Closer sets the parameters…up high!

One Step Closer opened the show at a fever pitch. At one point in their set a mention was made of Strait Edge which was nice to hear. I wish I was that aware back when I needed the Straight Edge concept. Maybe I’d have more brain cells. Too late for me now, but good for them! Real good.

SeeYouSpaceCowboy played a little with gender bending, and mixed up the sound from end to end creating havoc in the audience fueling the mosh pit. The night was getting interesting!

You couldn’t help but notice everything in Day Seeker’s set was thought through with precision. Great lighting really helped produce some fine images, band members working the choreography into the colorful display which beautifully enhance the set list.

Silverstein sealed the deal. By this time the fans were climbing out of their skin. Moshing, crowd surfing and general mayhem were bringing the intensity of the night’s performances to a head, and Silverstein gave them exactly what they wanted.
