A Day To Remember: The Least Anticipated Album Tour
ADTR Puts on a Show to Remember
A Day To Remember, easily one of the most popular mainstream metal bands, took the stage at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, NC, this past Tuesday (7/2/24). True to their name, they put on “A Show to Remember.” Accompanied by Pain of Truth, Four Year Strong, and The Story So Far, ADTR wowed not only me but also the thousands of people in attendance with their iconic songs and a party-like atmosphere. My first experience seeing ADTR was in 2021 at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival. At the time, I was not a fan of the metal scene, yet I discovered that just about anyone can have a good time at an ADTR show. From commanding rhythms and beats to CO2 cannons, pyrotechnics, and even beach balls, the show was an intoxicating euphoria. Now, three years later, I am such a big fan of the metal scene and genre that I am volunteering as a mixed media concert journalist just so I can attend more shows. I can’t help but feel that my initial experience with ADTR played a large part in that development.
While ADTR may lean slightly more towards mainstream/pop metal, they definitely showcase an affinity for the heavier side, as evidenced by the first band of the night. Opening the show was Pain of Truth, a band quickly making a name for itself in the hardcore scene. Led by frontman Michael Smith, their set was a visceral, adrenaline-fueled display of anger, attitude, energy, and rage. The lineup includes Nik Hansen and Ridge Rhine on guitars, Chris Rini on drums, and Zach Stachura on bass.
If you’re curious about their pedigree, just look through their features; with names like Terror, Bad Seed, King Nine, Billy Club Sandwich, and many others, it’s evident that this band is destined to leave a mark on the scene. It was clear from the start of their set that those who had arrived in time for the opener were there specifically for Pain of Truth, not just to secure a good spot for the main event. In terms of moshing and reckless engagement, Pain of Truth undoubtedly ignited the most activity I saw in the audience all night.
Taking the stage next was Four Year Strong, a band technically categorized as American easycore/pop-punk from Worcester, Massachusetts. The four-man band consists of Alan Day and Dan O’Connor on guitars and vocals, Joe Weiss on bass, and Jake Massucco on drums. Their most recent album, “Brain Pain,” was released by Pure Noise Records on February 28th, 2020.
They kicked off their set with the title track “Brain Pain,” and proceeded to play a variety of their tracks, including the song” uncooked” from their not-yet-released album “Analysis Paralysis,” due out on August 9th, 2024. The crowd responded energetically to the new material, showcasing the band’s ability to blend catchy pop-punk melodies with hardcore intensity.
The Story So Far, hailing from Walnut Creek, California, took the stage after Four Year Strong. Named after a 2002 song by New Found Glory, with whom they later toured in 2012, the band has gained recognition in the pop-punk realm. Their LP “Under Soil and Dirt” was ranked in Rock Sound’s list of The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time, alongside other iconic bands like Simple Plan, All American Rejects, Green Day, and The Offspring. However, I found their performance to be lackluster and unenergetic, a sentiment echoed by many fans post-show. Lead vocalist Parker Cannon spent the majority of the set with a subdued demeanor, clutching the microphone and his pants, showing little emotion. This was further reflected in my photographs from the event, where he appeared detached throughout the performance.
ADTR was everything I remembered and everything I hoped for. The audience was thrilled with anticipation, and the energy was palpable. Just like the last two times I saw them, they kicked off with a bang, literally. Confetti cannons fired during their opening song “Sticks & Bricks,” setting the tone for the exhilarating show to come. ADTR’s history is as rich as its discography. They signed what many called a deal with the devil with Victory Records in 2007, and were notoriously mistreated by the label’s owner, Tony Brummel. Credited with ending this mistreatment, they won their lawsuit against Victory, which eventually forced Brummel to sell the company. They continued to release music independently, proving with their album “Common Courtesy” and hits like “Right Back At It Again” that they didn’t need major label backing to succeed. Recent legal troubles led to Josh Woodard’s departure from the band, and he has been replaced by an unnamed and unidentifiable guitarist for their “Least Anticipated Album Tour.” Despite my searches on the band’s Instagram, website, and the internet, I couldn’t find any information about this mysterious guitarist who appears in all the show photos.
After my three songs were up and I was permitted to re-enter the venue, I was eager to recapture the euphoria I had felt previously, now as a more committed fan of the scene. It was upon re-entering that I noticed the venue’s segregation. For me, concerts are a place of equality—especially rock, metal, and hardcore shows—and it didn’t sit right with me that the majority of the audience was excluded from “The Pit” where moshing and crowd surfing take place, simply because they didn’t purchase upgrade tickets. Perhaps I’m more accustomed to bands at festivals or smaller venues, but being unable to get close to the action and feel the energy seemed unfair. While I stayed and enjoyed ADTR from a distance, I found myself constantly on my tiptoes, trying to peer over into the VIP area to gauge the size of the mosh pit or catch some cool crowd surfing. Speaking of which, if you’ve never been to an ADTR concert, they have a unique bit where they encourage the audience to stand/surf on top of someone who is already crowd surfing—a staple of their performances. I believe this division in the crowd is likely a venue regulation, not a tour ploy to make more money.
In the end, this night with A Day To Remember and the rest of the lineup at Red Hat Amphitheater was a full-throttle blast from start to finish, reminding me why I fell in love with the metal and hardcore scene. Despite the slight disappointment with the venue’s segregated sections, the concerts showed that music—especially the kind with guitars cranked up and drums that hit hard—still has the power to unite us. Each band brought something unique to the stage, from Pain of Truth’s raw ferocity to ADTR’s anthemic bangers that had us all reaching for the sky, even if from a distance. And while the mysterious new guitarist for ADTR added an element of intrigue, the night was ultimately about the music and the community it fosters. As the lights went down and the final echoes of the encore faded, I walked away with my ears ringing, my heart full, and a renewed sense of connection to this wildly pulsating world of metal and hardcore music. No matter the barriers, the spirit of the pit—unyielding and wild—lives on in every chord struck and every lyric belted. Tonight, just like that first time at Blue Ridge, I was reminded why this music, this scene, is a relentless force in my life.

Given all the talk around Arm Holdings’ blockbuster debut on the
Nasdaq, you may be surprised to hear that London’s junior market
is home to another, albeit significantly smaller, fabless chipmaker in Sondrel (Holdings)
plc.
Sondrel is in the business of application-specific integrated
circuit (ASIC) designs, which is geek speak for computers that are designed with just one job in mind.
Bitcoin miners, for instance, use an ASIC built to mine bitcoin and nothing else.
You get the point.
London’s junior market is home to another, albeit significantly smaller, fabless chipmaker in Sondrel (Holdings) plc.
Anyway, while Arm Holdings takes flight in New York, adding 20 per
cent on the first day of trading, Sondrel has had a bit of a shocker.
Shares were down another 15% this week as it continued to reel from project delays and
scaled back customer orders. Year to date, Sondrel is down a crushing 76 per cent.
In its latest earnings call, the group conceded that full-year revenues will be ‘substantially below current
market expectations’, with a corresponding impact on full-year
losses.
This Wednesday, Joe Lopez agreed to step down as chief financial officer with immediate effect, with non-board interim CFO Nick Stone
taking the temporary mantle.
A coincidence of timing perhaps?
As for the wider small-cap market, the AIM All-Share Index got off to a worrying start after losing nearly 1 per cent
on Monday.
This was despite the blue-chip index starting the week on the front foot in anticipation of a packed week of macroeconomic news.
Thankfully, junior stocks swung in the right direction as UK unemployment met expectations, as did the
European Central Bank’s 25 basis point interest rate decision.
US inflation figures were a little on the heavy side, though not enough to spook the markets.
The AIM All-Share ended up recovering those Monday losses to close the week
flat at 746.42, though this was a marked underperformance against the FTSE 100,
which gained over 3 per cent.
A large chunk of the value of shares in disposable vape distributor Supreme were
thrown in the bin following damning research into the
environmental effects of cheap, single-use vaping kits.
Shares were down 16.6 per cent across the week.
Ocean Harvest Technology Group plc, one of AIM’s very few debutants in 2023, took a light battering in the wake of its first interim earnings
report as a publicly listed company.
The group, which specialises in researching, developing and
selling seaweed products for use in the
animal feed industry, reported a delay in onboarding new customers in Europe due to surging feed
ingredient prices, sending shares down 18 per cent.

Shareholders made their thoughts clear on medical technology company Belluscura’s interim
results, with shares diving over 18 per cent this week.
Revenues and earnings figures objectively justified this response, with top-line sales falling a third year on year to $400,000 (£321,000)
and adjusted EBITDA falling 30 per cent to $2.9 million.
It’s never a weekly roundup without discussing the latest delisting news.
This week it is brought to you by Sportech.
You may be aware of Sportech through its pool-betting site 123Bet, or perhaps Connecticut, US readers have visited
one of its nine licensed gaming entertainment venues in the state.
Monday’s solid set of results – which showcased a threefold increase in underlying earnings – weren’t enough to dissuade
the group from ploughing ahead with its plan to delist from London’s
junior AIM market.
‘Despite delivering improving operational results announced today,
the substantial financial cost associated with maintaining
a public listing, given our current scale,
and the increasing volatility in the market valuation is adversely impacting
net returns and future prospects,’ said executive chairman Richard McGuire.
Hardly an uncommon sentiment in the 2023 capital markets.
The heavy industries proved AIM’s saviour this week,
thanks to a revival in sentiment for China-exposed industries
and surging commodity prices.
Exploration and development minnow Critical Mineral Resources (formerly
Caerus Mineral Resources) had a bumper week, leaping close to 50
per cent after confirming the completion of its Cyprus asset sale.
Other top industrial movers saw Synergia Energy, Pantheon Resources and
Cadence Minerals plc all up over 20 per cent, with Atome Energy and Coro Energy surging in the high teens.
LoopUp Group led the charge in the communications sector
after smashing revenue and margin targets in its interim earnings.
Shares were seen around 40 per cent higher week on week.
Lastly, Keystone Law plc turned heads on Thursday
after it confirmed full-year results will be ‘comfortably ahead of market expectations’.
Shares closed the week a little over 10 per cent higher as a
result.
