Live reviews
Orange County metal band, Stick to Your Guns are one of the heaviest bands around spinning a breed of death metal with the heaviest guitars turned up to 11, playing music to some of the rowdiest hordes I’ve ever seen. They are one of those bands similar to the contemporaries, A Day to Remember, but where ADTR have more commercial sounding choruses, that without the heavy guitars, maybe Backstreet Boys could have performed, Stick to Your Guns go extremely heavy in their verses playing some extremely heavy riffs lacing in a certain dissonance, down tuning their guitars, also paired with the double kick drum machine gun beats played in perfect sync with the guitars and bass, to a slow down tempo beat. There has to be a correlation between this genre of music and the most movement in moshpits. I’m going to be honest, this mosh pit is absolutely terrifying, there are also audience members running up on stage and then stage diving! How fun!
Stick to Your Guns was fantastic. Their set was amazing and sounded great. I love everything about what they stand for and how you can tell that they're still in it for the music and trying to get that message across to everyone and i can't have more than enough respect for a band that is like that. Also, shout out to Expire for having a killer set, along with knocked loose and stray from the path. Overall fantastic concert.
It was amazing. I wish I could relive that show. They we're all so amazing live and they are all amazing people. It's was Such and amazing experience. I can't wait to see all of those band again. Especially stick to your guns and the amity affliction
