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.

President Donald Trump has issued a chilling new warning to those accused of vandalizing and firebombing Tesla cars and charging
stations.
He threatened to send them to the same ‘hellish’
mega-prison in El Salvador to which his officials have deported alleged Venezuelan gang members.
Trump weighed in hours after Attorney General
Pam Bondi vowed suspects would face ‘the full force of the law for
using Molotov cocktails to set fire to Teslas.
The President said: ‘I look forward to watching the
sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what
they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla.
‘Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons
of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for
such lovely conditions!’
He also wrote on Truth Social: ‘People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail
for up to twenty years, and that includes the funders. WE
ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!!’
During later remarks in the Oval Office, he described those who commit such acts
as ‘terrorists.’
And he defended his decision to send people
that were ‘really bad’ to El Salvador’s prison.
President Donald Trump mused about ‘sick terrorist thugs’ being
sent to an El Salvadoran prison for ‘what they are doing to Tesla and Elon Musk
‘Well, I view these people as terrorists, just like others,’ he said of people vandalizing
Teslas.
‘When I looked at those showrooms burning and those cars
– not one or two, like seven, eight, ten burning, exploding all over the place.
These are terrorists.’
He added: ‘You didn’t have that on January 6, I can tell you
you didn’t have anything like that on January 6.’
Trump’s comments came less than a week after his administration deported more than 200 alleged gang members
to El Salvador, whose president promptly posted video of them being lined up to have their heads
shaved and put into incarceration.
El Salvador’s ‘terrorism confinement center’ – known by the Spanish acronym ‘Cecot,’ which has been thrust
into the news this week.
One Australian television journalist, Liam Bartlett,
called it a ‘hellhole.’
‘There’s no sheets [and] no mattresses. [Prisoners] sleep on cold steel frames and they eat the same meal every single day,’
he said.
‘Utensils are banned so they use their hands [to eat]. There’s just two open toilets in each of these massive cells and the lights stay on 24/7,
‘ he said. ‘Imagine how long you would last in these conditions.’
Trump also spoke about people who he said ‘organized’ anti-Tesla events.
‘And you look at what’s going on now with these terrorists.
These are terrorists, and that’s an organized event, you know.
Take a look at their signs – take a look. They’re all made by the same
sign company. A nice, expensive job,’ he said.
‘Now these are – the people that finance it, are, in my opinion, in just
as big a trouble as the people that are setting the match and setting the
fires. So we’ll see. It’s under very serious investigation by the FBI
and by the Justice Department. These people are terrorists,’ Trump said.
Trump’s posts and comments brought together several issues swirling around his administration for the past week.
He has erupted at a federal judge who issued an order to halt
the deportation of men the administration says were
members of the violent Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang.
‘WE WANT VIOLENT CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!’ Trump posted in all-caps Friday.
The Judge, James Boasberg, is demanding answers from the administration about details of the flights that the administration says were airborne when his
written order came down. Trump and ally billionaire Elon Musk have called to
impeach the judge, setting off action among House Republican loyalists.
His administration has refused to release the identities of the people who got deported, although CBS published a leaked list.
Attorneys for some of the deported men have been proclaiming their innocence.

burned Tesla Cybertruck at a Tesla lot in Seattle, Monday, March
10, 2025
The president of El Salvador posted video of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang being processed after being deported
from the U.S.
Trump issued an angry threat to people thinking about vandalizing Tesla, after
other efforts to boost the company. It’s founder Elon Musk
has been heading DOGE in its mass job cuts of federal workers
One said her client whose tattoo of a soccer ball with a crown was presented as evidence of gang membership
said he is a pro soccer player whose tattoo was meant to celebrate the Real Madrid club.

Trump has also been working to boost Musk even as stock prices for the Tesla firm he owns have plunged.
Last week he bought a Tesla and parked it at the White House
after touting the vehicle. His Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the public Thursday to ‘buy Tesla’ in an unual break from the
government’s usual arms’ length distance from financial
advice.
Trump’s administration is vowing to crack down on attacks on Tesla dealerships and vehicles, amid a spate of incidents after Musk became the face of DOGE job cuts the federal workforce.
Bondi announced that three people have been charged with attacks on Tesla facilities.
‘Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars,’ she said.
One man is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Oregon. Another man was
arrested in Colorado attempting to light Molotov cocktails near a dealership.
Another man was arrested vandalizing a South
Carolina dealership after spray painting ‘f*** Trump’ and
‘Long Live Ukraine.’
The government gave no indication that any of them were born outside the U.S.,
which would raise considerable legal hurdles to sending them to
a Salvadoran prison.
