Quicksand, Bane, and Soul Blind

It’s funny to think that Bane began as a small project between Aaron Dalbec and Damon Bellardo seeing how far they’ve come today! The hardcore punk band are renowned for putting on high energy shows, where they let the audience up on stage in order to jump off and crowd surf across the venue. The atmosphere was incredible, if a little intense, but everyone was totally invested in the music and appeared to be long time fans who knew the music inside out, so everyone was singing along.

They played a really great selection of tracks, right from when the line up of the band was different, up to their new material and tracks from The Note. When they played Wasted On the Young, they gave a brief explanation about the message of the song, which was really great to hear directly from the band. They also held out the microphone during sections of the track, encouraging everyone to sing along which was great. They closed the show with Calling Hours, and each band member played an epic solo, including a wild vocal performance that had everyone cheering non stop. There’s no denying that the music was fantastic, and if you don’t mind being pushed around a little, the atmosphere is awesome too.
