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.

With the demands of modern life, mental sharpness is key to
success. Whether you’re juggling multiple tasks having a clear and focused mind
enhances daily efficiency. Just as the body requires nutrients, the brain thrives on the right
fuel to function optimally.
Experts agree that certain natural compounds play a significant role in boosting memory,
supporting long-term cognitive health. As we age, cognitive abilities may decline, but the right lifestyle choices can slow down this process.
Challenging your mind daily through continuous learning and
creativity supports neuroplasticity. A holistic approach combining diet, rest, and mental
exercises further contributes to mental clarity. Given the advancements in neuroscience,
learning about mental performance remains a fascinating journey.

Michelle Williams enjoyed a date night with her husband Thomas Kail at
the New York premiere of her steamy sex drama, Dying For Sex, on Wednesday.
The Dawson’s Creek star, 44, made a bold fashion statement in a revealing lilac
gown with cut-out sides as she posed with the
theatre director, 48, at the SVA Theatre.
The pair — who have been married since 2020 — got flirty as they held hands,
rubbed noses together, and gazed into each other’s eyes on the red carpet.
Her platinum blonde tresses were swept to the side and
styled in a sleek bob, with delicate makeup accentuating her features.
The beauty — who shares daughter Matilda, 19,
with the late actor Heath Ledger — accessorized with silver bangle bracelets.
Based on the hit Wondery podcast of the same name, the forthcoming sex-positive
FX series tells the story of Molly (Williams), a woman diagnosed
with metastatic breast cancer who leaves her husband of 15
years (Jay Duplass) and begins to explore her sexuality, according to Deadline.

Michelle Williams goes for very risque look to plug steamy new
sex drama
Also present at the premiere was her pal Busy Philipps, 45, who looked chic in a black mini dress.
Michelle also posed with co-stars Rob Delaney, Jay Duplass and Jenny Slate,
as well as creators Elizabeth Meriwether, Kim Rosenstock
Michelle has been busy promoting the new show in recent days.
‘The show careened from dramatic to absurd to hilarious to unbelievable and then back again,’
Williams described in a New York Magazine cover story Monday.
Her character Molly is encouraged to make a life-altering
change by her best friend Nikki Boyer, played by Jenny Slate.
‘She was healing wounds on her deathbed,’ Nikki told The New York Post in 2020.
‘Her lifelong dream was to write a book and be
a published author. She waited until the last few months of
her life to do it. She was thinking the clearest she ever had
in her life.’

Thomas looked dapper in a dark suit with a white button-up shirt underneath
Michelle and Kail tied the knot two years after meeting on the set of Fosse/Verdon. The duo share two kids together, son Hart and another baby born in 2022
The show, which marks Michelle’s return to acting following a hiatus, is her first
project since she shot The Fabelmans
It also marks Williams’ return to FX, where she starred as Gwen Verdon in the limited series
Fosse/Verdon (2019)
For a hotel masturbation scene in the show, Michelle had
to get creative, coming up with six different ways to climax
‘You’ve already done, like, four scenes, and then it’s
five o’clock at night and you have to do six masturbation sequences with six
sculpted, individuated orgasms, and you’re like, “Woo! Okay,”‘ she
recounted
The star held hands with pal Busy Philipps, 45, as she showed off her backless dress
Busy wowed in a black mini dress
She posed with co-stars Rob Delaney, Jay Duplass and Jenny Slate,
as well as creators Elizabeth Meriwether, Kim Rosenstock
She caught up with Jenny at the at SVA Theatre
The duo chatted it up
Meriwether and Rosenstock also serve as showrunners and executive producers with Headland, Katherine Pope, Boyer, plus Jen Sargent,
Marshall Lewy, Aaron Hart and Hernan Lopez.
Production began years ago and picked up momentum in spring 2023 before the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes put it on hold.
Dying for Sex is set to premiere April 4 via FX on Hulu.
The show, which marks Michelle’s return to acting following a hiatus, is her first project since she shot
The Fabelmans.
It also marks Williams’ return to FX, where she starred as Gwen Verdon in the limited series Fosse/Verdon (2019).

‘You’ve already done, like, four scenes, and then it’s five o’clock at night and you have to do six masturbation sequences with six sculpted,
individuated orgasms, and you’re like, “Woo! Okay,”‘ she recounted.
She added, ‘I just kept joking, like, “Just so you know, this is how Molly comes, not Michelle. This is not my come face.”‘
And she mused: ‘[The show] definitely opened my eyes in a way that was also like, “God, I’m such a dummy for not having realized this stuff sooner!”‘
The forthcoming sex-positive FX series tells the story of Molly (Williams), a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer who
leaves her husband of 15 years
Amid the press tour for Michelle’s new show, one of her
closest pals, Busy, shared rare remarks about their friendship — including the ‘moments’ she felt they ‘might not recover from.’
They first crossed paths in the 1990s while filming the hit teen drama series Dawson’s
Creek, and quickly became close pals.
‘We just know each other and get each other
in such a deep, fundamental way at this point,
‘ Philipps told to Page Six on Saturday.
She added that both she and Williams have experienced ‘so
many different moments in each other’s lives,’ from ‘wonderful ones’ to ones they thought they ‘might never, ever recover from.’
However, Busy gushed, ‘When you have a friend like that,
you’re blessed. That’s all you can really ever hope for in this life.’

Maintaining balanced blood sugar is essential for optimal health.
It is vital to find natural ways to manage these levels, especially with the rise of lifestyle-related health conditions.
Many people struggle in maintaining their blood sugar under control due to factors like diet, stress, and lack of exercise.
Fortunately, natural supplements can offer support in this area by promoting insulin sensitivity.
With ingredients like antioxidants, these products help regulate glucose levels, reduce cravings, and
improve energy, all of which contribute to better
digestive health as well. Over time, adding such supplements into a healthy lifestyle can enhance not only blood sugar
regulation but also overall health. It’s
exciting to see how natural ingredients can play a role in supporting
well-being, assisting individuals in managing
key health concerns. Whether you’re looking
to boost your energy or reduce sugar cravings, these natural solutions may provide valuable support in achieving a healthier lifestyle.
