On Wednesday night I attended The Revolutions and Resolutions Tour at the Studio @ Webster Hall in NYC. Playing the sold-out show were The Audition, The Dangerous Summer, The Right Coast, & local bands The Life I Lead and Score 24. The entire concert there was a high amount of energy from the bands and positive vibes throughout the room.
Starting off the night were Long Island’s Score 24. Playing pop-punk music similar to Hit The Lights and The Years Gone By, the band’s songs consisted of catchy lyrics and upbeat guitars. I found their set to be pretty fun and the audience seemed to enjoy them.
Next up were The Life I Lead. This NYC pop-rock band put on a strong performance and had the room nodding along. Their song “Bright Lights” definitely caught my attention and I would keep an eye out for this band.
The Right Coast took the stage next and played a very short, mediocre set. This may partially be due to the fact that the singer was sick, but their songs weren’t anything special. They did catch the attention of the crowd with their cover of Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, but really how many bands have covered that song now? I will say their chemistry as a band was very good though and since they’re still pretty new as a band, there’s hope for their music to improve.
As soon as The Dangerous Summer took the stage, cheers were heard throughout the crowd. The band opened with “Settle Down” and played an on-point 8 song set. Included were songs “Surfaced”, “The Permanent Rain”, “Disconnect”, and they ended with “Northern Lights”. I was pleasantly surprised to see around half the room singing back every single word of every song. Even talking to the band afterwards, they were surprised and so happy. I’m really glad I was finally able to see them, especially since Reach For The Sun is such a fantastic album.
After a 20 minute break, The Audition came out on stage to Mystikal’s “Shake It Fast”. I could already tell I was in for a fun set and the audience gave one of the most positive reactions I’ve seen for a band in a long time. The band played a mix of songs off of their 3 albums, including some of my favorites such as “Dance Halls Turn To Ghost Towns”, “Hell To Sell”, and “Los Angeles”. Singer Danny Stevens also announced the bands new album, Great Danger, will be released March 16th and played 2 new songs, “The Art Of Living” and “You Ruined This”. Both songs were very upbeat and everyone seemed to enjoy them. Throughout the set jokes were had which included outrageous stories and making fun of a fan’s shirt, which resulted in the fan coming on stage, ripping off his shirt, and then redeeming himself by pulling an Audition shirt out of his pocket and putting it on. They closed the night out with “Don’t Be So Hard”, but due to overwhelming chanting they came back out and performed “Sign.Steal.Deliver.”. This band definitely knows how to put on a live show, as it was one of the best sets I’ve seen in a while.
It was such a fun show and all the bands are really accessible to talk to afterwards. The only downfall was Sparks The Rescue didn’t play my date, but they are on the rest of the tour. I would definitely recommend checking out the Revolutions and Resolutions tour if it comes near you.
In mid-January, The Audition will be embarking on “The Revolutions and Resolutions Tour” with The Dangerous Summer, Sparks The Rescue, Runner Runner (select dates), and The Right Coast. Our site is a huge supporter of the first three bands, so make sure you check this out if it comes near you because they can all use a little more attention. Some venues are still to be announced, so keep an eye out on The Audition’s myspace and while there check out the remixes of a few of their songs. Dates below.
The Dangerous Summer, Mercy Mercedes, Between The Trees. and Single File will be heading out on tour together in November. Each of these band brings something different to the table and if this tour is stopping by you be sure to check it out.
