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.

ADTR-2

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. POT-2 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.

FYS-9

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.

FYS-1

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. 

TSSF-1

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-8

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.

ADTR-7

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.

ADTR-12

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.

  • where are clark forklifts manufactured

    / Reply

    Hi, Neat post. There is an issue with your website in internet explorer, could test this?

    IE still is the marketplace leader and a good part of other
    folks will omit your wonderful writing due to this problem.
    2. Manufacturing and Assembly:
    In manufacturing and assembly environments, stacker forklifts are
    used to move and position heavy materials, components, and finished products at various stages of the production process.

    Their versatility and lifting capabilities make them invaluable in these settings.

    3. Retail and E-commerce:
    As the e-commerce industry continues to grow, stacker forklifts have become increasingly important in fulfillment centers and retail stockrooms.

    These forklifts enable efficient storage, picking, and
    packing of a wide range of products.

    4. Intermodal Transportation:
    Stacker forklifts, particularly reach stackers, play
    a crucial role in intermodal transportation hubs,
    such as container terminals and freight yards. They are used to load, unload,
    and stack shipping containers, optimizing the flow of goods between different modes
    of transportation.

    5. Cold Storage Facilities:
    Specialized stacker forklifts designed for use in cold storage environments, such as freezers
    and refrigerated warehouses, are essential for handling and storing temperature-sensitive goods.

    Benefits of Stacker Forklifts
    Stacker forklifts offer a range of benefits that make them an indispensable piece of material handling
    equipment:

    1. Space Optimization:
    By leveraging vertical space through high-density storage, stacker forklifts enable businesses to maximize their available floor space and increase overall storage capacity.

    This can lead to significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.

    2. Improved Productivity:
    The enhanced reach, maneuverability, and load-handling capabilities of stacker forklifts
    allow for faster and more efficient movement of materials, resulting in increased
    productivity and throughput.

    3. Enhanced Safety:
    Stacker forklifts are equipped with advanced safety
    features, such as stability systems, load sensing,
    and operator-assist technologies, which help to reduce the risk of
    accidents and create a safer work environment.

    4. Versatility:
    Stacker forklifts can be adapted to suit a wide range of applications, from warehousing and
    logistics to manufacturing and intermodal transportation. This
    versatility makes them a valuable asset for businesses with diverse material handling needs.

    5. Cost Savings:
    By optimizing space utilization and improving productivity,
    stacker forklifts can help businesses reduce operational costs associated with real
    estate, labor, and storage. Additionally, their durability and reliability can lead to lower maintenance and replacement expenses.

    Considerations for Selecting a Stacker Forklift
    When choosing a stacker forklift, there are several key factors to consider to ensure the right fit for your specific operational requirements:

    1. Lift Capacity and Height:
    Determine the maximum weight and height of the loads you need
    to handle, and select a stacker forklift with the appropriate lift capacity and mast height.

    2. Aisle Width and Maneuverability:
    Consider the available space in your facility, including the width
    of your aisles, and choose a stacker forklift with the necessary reach and turning radius to operate efficiently in your environment.

    3. Power Source:
    Stacker forklifts are available with various power sources, such as internal combustion engines (diesel or
    gasoline) or electric motors. The power source should be selected based on factors like operating environment, emissions regulations,
    and the need for quiet operation.

    4. Operator Ergonomics and Safety:
    Prioritize features that enhance operator comfort, visibility, and safety, such as adjustable seats, intuitive controls,
    and advanced stability and load-sensing systems.

    5. Maintenance and Support:
    Consider the availability of service and maintenance resources, as well
    as the overall reliability and durability of the stacker forklift model to
    ensure minimal downtime and long-term cost-effectiveness.

    6. Application-Specific Customizations:
    Depending on your industry and operational
    requirements, you may need to consider additional customizations or attachments, such as
    special forks, load handlers, or cold storage-rated
    components.

    By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select the stacker forklift that best meets the unique
    needs of your business and ensures efficient, safe, and cost-effective material handling operations.

    Conclusion
    Stacker forklifts are a critical piece of material handling equipment that play a
    vital role in modern warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing operations.
    Their ability to access and stack loads at significant heights, combined with their compact size and maneuverability,
    make them essential for optimizing storage capacity and improving
    productivity.

    As businesses continue to face growing demands for efficient, high-density storage and material handling,
    the importance of stacker forklifts will only continue to increase.
    By understanding the various types, features, and applications of these versatile machines, organizations can make informed decisions and
    invest in the right equipment to support their evolving material
    handling needs.
