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.

    Keeping balanced blood sugar levels is important for overall health,
    as instability in blood sugar can lead to serious metabolic concerns.

    Many people are unaware of how blood sugar irregularities can impact chronic wellness,
    affecting everything from energy levels to organ function. Incorporating natural solutions into one’s routine
    can support consistent blood sugar levels without requiring drastic
    lifestyle changes. Many of these solutions aim to enhance the body’s capacity to regulate insulin and control appetite.
    Interestingly, certain formulas are known to not only help manage
    blood sugar but also boost metabolism, leading to enhanced energy levels and overall vitality.

    Such method enables individuals to maintain their blood sugar
    while also encouraging a healthy metabolism, all without the need
    for strict eating restrictions or intense exercise routines.
    It’s a gentle, natural way to take control of one’s blood sugar health,
    making it easier to live a balanced life.

    Managing nerve-related issues can be overwhelming,
    notably when it impacts everyday activities. Neurological health is crucial for
    a healthy body, yet many individuals grapple with issues like tingling,
    numbness, and discomfort.

    Experts have shown that specific nutrients can improve nerve health.
    Reducing inflammation plays a fundamental role in preventing long-term damage.
    Furthermore, proper circulation ensures that essential compounds reach the nerves, boosting a
    strong nervous system.

    Many individuals turn to alternative solutions to ease their symptoms.

    While regular exercise are beneficial, the right blend of nutrients have been linked to potential benefits.

    Being proactive toward long-term health
    can lead to better comfort.

    For centuries, people have turned to astrology to understand their emotions and life path.
    One of the most intriguing aspects of astrology is the influence of celestial bodies on our emotions and desires.
    While many people are familiar with their sun sign, which represents outward personality traits, few realize the profound impact their moon sign can have on their emotional nature.
    This hidden aspect of our astrological chart holds the key
    to emotional patterns, relationship tendencies, and unspoken desires.
    By unlocking the mysteries of our moon sign, individuals can better navigate life’s complexities with confidence.
    With tools like personalized astrology reports, such
    as those based on detailed birth data, astrology can help us better understand the hidden parts of ourselves.
    Whether you’re looking to improve relationships, make informed career decisions, or
    simply seek emotional clarity, the knowledge of your moon sign can provide valuable guidance for navigating life’s ups and downs.

    A well-functioning liver is crucial for maintaining peak health,
    as it helps filter out toxins and supports digestion.

    Unfortunately, today’s fast-paced world often exposes
    the liver to toxins, impacting its ability to regulate energy
    efficiently.

    Taking care of this vital organ through proper nutrition may promote sustainable weight management.

    Small lifestyle changes, like consuming antioxidant-rich foods
    and reducing toxin exposure, can make a significant difference.

    When the liver operates efficiently, the body
    functions optimally, allowing for enhanced vitality.

    Natural remedies have been used to address these issues.

    that promote hygiene and wellness. Using botanical elements often reduce
    the recurrence of skin-related issues.

    Maintaining healthy vision is essential, especially as we get older and are
    exposed to many environmental factors that can influence our eyesight.
    Over time, environmental stressors, cellular
    damage can harm the delicate structures of
    the eye, leading to problems such as visual disturbances,
    eye fatigue, or even long-term damage. This is
    where proactive eye care holds a crucial role
    in maintaining eye health. Rather than relying solely on traditional treatments or surgical procedures, many individuals are turning to natural,
    solutions that support the eyes from within. A supplement that combines effective antioxidants, vitamins, and plant-based extracts can help
    fight these common threats, delivering the eyes with the nutrients they need
    to stay strong and function properly. By enhancing healthy blood circulation to the eyes
    and reducing harmful free radicals, such supplements can play a critical role in maintaining and even boosting vision over time.
    Whether it’s to delay age-related vision decline or to enhance overall
    eye health, maintaining a balanced approach to eye care can make a significant difference
    in the long run.

    Weight management is a challenge that many individuals
    face, especially in today’s hectic lifestyle.

    While diet and exercise play a crucial role, body processes
    often influences how efficiently the body processes nutrients.
    One of the lesser-known factors contributing
    to weight gain is toxin buildup, which can disrupt metabolic functions.
    Experts suggest that specific nutrients can help improve digestion and create a more optimized environment
    for the body to shed unwanted pounds. Additionally,
    maintaining proper digestion plays a important role in overall well-being.

    Choosing sustainable approaches to health rather than quick fixes can lead to more sustainable results.
    After all, the journey toward a leaner body isn’t just about shedding weight—it’s about creating a balanced
    system that supports optimal health.
