Hundreds of teenagers and young adults anxiously waited in line at Soma, San Diego on October 11th to get in to one of the greatest hardcore concerts of the year.
I See Stars took the stage at at seven o’clock in front of more than 1,000 people. Many lust driven teenage girls screamed in excitement for young boys from their home town of San Diego. They played hardcore songs from their most recent hardcore album 3-D, including one of their hit songs The Big Bad Wolf.
Next to approach the crowd was In Faith and Fear, a screamo/hardcore band that literally rocked the house. “The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions” had the whole crowd head banging.
Parkway Drive took the stage and the crowd went wild. The stage set consisted of posters portraying girls in bikinis wearing aviators, lounging on the beach. As the metal music began to play, crowd surfers emerged of the pits of “moshers” and were tossed across the room with ease. The more mosh pits that formed, the more people that got hurt and had to leave the concert early.
Then came the moment that everyone had been waiting for. The stage lit up as if lightning were striking the stage from every direction. Through the crackling light a stage set was visible showing four caricatures of the band members their self and a set of fists with the words Home-Sick tattooed across them.
A Day To Remember walked on stage and the crowd went ballistic. The band challenged every person in the room to be the best crowd of their tour, and by the sound of the audience the band needn’t have asked. The security guards were overwhelmed as the crowd rushed the stage to the band’s delight.
When their set ended and they left the stage the crowd went into a rhythmic chant screaming “One more song! One more song!” Only a minute later the band was back on stage picking up their instruments and taking their place on stage. After three more songs the concert was officially over and the fans knew that it was truly a day to remember.
