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.

    Hip-hop mogul accused of running 20-year sex
    trafficking scheme

    *

    Combs pleads not guilty; trial set for May

    *

    New indictment says Combs threatened employees

    (New throughout, adds courtroom color and details
    from court hearing)

    By Luc Cohen

    NEW YORK, March 14 (Reuters) –

    Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs pleaded not guilty on Friday to a new
    indictment, which added accusations that the hip-hop mogul forced employees to work long hours and threatened to punish
    those who did not assist in a two-decade sex trafficking scheme.

    Combs, 55, entered his plea to the new indictment before U.S.
    District Judge Arun Subramanian at a hearing in Manhattan federal court.
    A trial is set for May 5.

    Combs, who has been held in a Brooklyn jail awaiting
    trial since his September 2024 arrest, wore
    baggy tan prison garb and sported gray hair and a gray beard.
    He blew kisses to his mother and other family members seated in the courtroom audience as he
    was led out at the end of the 45-minute hearing.

    Combs previously pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex
    trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

    Also known during his career as Puff Daddy and P.
    Diddy, Combs founded Bad Boy Records and is credited with helping turn rappers and R&B
    singers such as Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Notorious B.I.G.

    and Usher into stars in the 1990s and 2000s.

    Prosecutors with the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office said
    Combs used his business empire, including his record label Bad Boy Entertainment, to sexually abuse women between 2004 and
    2024.

    Combs’ alleged abuse included having women take part in recorded sexual performances called “freak offs”
    with male sex workers, who were sometimes transported across state
    lines.

    While the new indictment added no new charges, it described what
    prosecutors called the “forced labor” that Combs demanded in connection with the 20-year alleged racketeering
    conspiracy.

    It said Combs and his associates “maintained control” over some employees by forcing them to work long hours with little sleep,
    through the use of or threats to use physical force, financial harm, psychological harm and
    reputational harm.

    Combs’ defense lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has said his client never forced anyone to engage in sexual acts against their
    will. Agnifilo has said the freak offs were consensual sexual
    activity.

    In a preview of a looming dispute over what could be a crucial piece of
    evidence, prosecutor Mitzi Steiner said the defense may seek to
    prevent them from introducing at trial a hotel surveillance video broadcast by
    CNN last year showing Combs striking and dragging his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura, an R&B singer known as Cassie.

    Combs apologized last May after CNN broadcast the video.
    Agnifilo has said the video was not evidence of sex trafficking, and said Combs and Ventura had “a toxic, loving 11-year relationship.”

    In court on Friday, Agnifilo said the video was out of sequence and then parts of
    it had been sped up.

    “It’s a misleading piece of evidence, it’s a deceptive piece of evidence, it’s a piece of evidence that has been changed,” Agnifilo said.

    A CNN spokesperson said the outlet never altered the video.

    Subramanian suggested the two sides work together to put the video in the correct sequence
    and at the correct speed before showing it to the jury.

    At Friday’s hearing, Subramanian said prospective jurors would begin filling out questionnaires on April 28.
    In-person questioning of jurors will start on May 5, with opening statements on May
    12, the judge said. (Reporting by Luc Cohen; Editing by

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
