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.

If you’re looking for the perfect way to protect yourself while having sex on period, then you
will want to read what I’m going to write.
So basically, protection while having sex on period consist different kinds of questions that may come to your mind.
For example, something generally about protection and pregnancy tests, birth control,
risk of sexual diseases etc.
First of all, let me answer to your most common question about sex on period – Can I get
pregnant during period. Yes, there is a chance that you
can get pregnant during your period. However, those chances of pregnancy
are usually low during periods, but they.
If you had unprotected sex during your period, the best idea is to take
a pregnancy test.
You can also use a birth control. Sperm can live up to five days inside of you.
If you have a short cycle you may ovulate soon after, or even during your period.
The sperm in your tubes or uterus from sex during your period can reach
and fertilize the egg within those five days. Don’t
assume if you normally have a long cycle that you will be okay.
Always use contraception if you want to avoid pregnancy.
The most important thing for you to know is to practice safe sex.
The risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease is
still present during menstruation and in fact,
slightly more likely due to the presence of blood and further increased by
the use of tampons due to the friction and temporary damage the
walls of your vagina.
Now that I covered all topics from my doctor’s point of view, I need to tell you something more from a man’s point of view.
It is well known that sex during period can be
very messy and that not every man will be happy with the idea of having sex
with you while you’re bleeding. Maybe you don’t
like it either.
How can I improve my relationship and my sex life?
What is the perfect solution for spicing up my relationship
during my period?
I can hear you asking this. Well, the answer is simple – a blowjob.
Men don’t love blood and sex during period, but they surely adore blowjobs.
So, this is the perfect time for you to use this information to blow his mind
and make him fall in love with you. By giving him amazing head, you will absolutely 100% sure seduce him.
Trust me.
The most important thing is that you can easily learn how to become great at giving
your man head. There are many information about how to give head on the internet, but none of them is
really hitting the most important parts of it.
It’s not hard, as long as you’re willing to put some practice into it.
Why porn stars give the best head? Because they’ve had the most practice.
There are some things that work and some that
don’t. The first and the easiest thing I can tell you
is to stop worrying. Yes, stop worrying. Sure, it might be
a bad blowjob. Yes, you may mess up, but being nervous and insecure about
it won’t help you much. As long as you’re trying to improve, your man will appreciate the effort.
Look, you really need to LOVE giving head. Change your attitude towards giving him oral pleasure.
Naturally, when you’re good at something you tend to enjoy it
a lot more. And once you get good at blowjobs, trust me you will love it.
But until you don’t enjoy it naturally – fake it.
And please, forget about things like “he wont repsect you”.
That’s crap. He’ll adore every single piece of you, because
you’re putting in the extra effort for pleasing him.
