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.

    As we move through life in this fast-paced age, where the pursuit of love often feels increasingly distant, traditional dating approaches no longer hold the same charm.

    Online platforms, though convenient, often leave us feeling frustrated and disheartened.
    In this complex journey, there are those who seek a deeper connection to guide them to a meaningful relationship.
    Exploring unique pathways has become an alternative for those looking for a real connection.

    Psychic practices and spiritual energy have been part of human culture for
    centuries, drawing people towards the belief that there’s more to love than meets the eye.
    Such beliefs inspire modern-day services that combine art with intuition, offering a fresh perspective on romantic connections.
    By harnessing personal energy and spiritual guidance, one can gain insight into the path to finding their soulmate, enabling them to
    visualize a potential partner who aligns with their spiritual energy.

    Embracing this spiritual approach provides an opportunity for growth, emotional understanding,
    and a deeper connection to oneself, allowing them to journey
    towards the love they’ve been seeking.

    Sabrina Carpenter has once again come under fire for her raunchy on stage perfomance after ‘simulating lesbian sex’ amid her Short n’ Sweet Tour in Stockholm.

    The singer, 25, has been acting out different sex positions while performing racy hit Juno at her concerts while throwing
    her legs in the air and thrusting her hips.

    In the sexually charged track she sings about being so infatuated
    by someone that she wants them to get her pregnant. 

    Now, in a new clip Sabrina unveiled a ‘Juno position for the lesbians’ as she
    kneeled down on stage and seemingly simulated oral sex.

    One person shared the clip to X writing: ‘Grammy Award winning Sabrina Carpenter is under fire after performing a “new Juno position for the lesbians” during her
    Stockholm Short n Sweet tour that appears to be an imitation of
    oral fortification’.

    Fans were quick to comment, slamming the singer and branding her
    behaviour ‘inappropriate’ and ‘desperate for attention’.

    Sabrina Carpenter, 25, has once again come under fire for her raunchy on stage perfomance after ‘simulating lesbian sex’
    amid her Short n’ Sweet Tour in Stockholm

    The singer has been acting out different sex positions while performing racy
    hit Juno at her concerts while throwing her
    legs in the air and thrusting her hips

    In the sexually charged track, Juno, she sings
    about being so infatuated by someone that she wants them to get
    her pregnant (pictured performing her Juno position in London)

    They wrote: ‘Little kids go to your shows, you are
    so not a role model’: ‘She could do way better than that, she’s got the talent, man!’ 

    ‘This gal is desperate for attention. It’s kinda sad’:
    ‘That is really disgusting from her’: ‘She’s doing everything to try and ‘top’ Taylor
    Swift’: ‘I will never know why they do stuff like that.
    Tacky as hell’.

    It comes just weeks after Sabrina added another new explicit dance move to
    her repertoire during her concert in Paris while performing Juno. 

    The Espresso hitmaker imitated a three-way sexual
    position, referred to as the Eiffel Tower, with two
    male dancers, in apparent homage to the Parisian monument.

    Once again a number of fans took issue with the provocative act,
    with one writing on X, ‘i’m sorry but there are little kids in the audience and this is taking it way too far.’

    ‘Promoting sex positions to a primarily underage age audience?
    I stan her but this isn’t ok…’ another added. 

    ‘This is just… i don’t care if this a woman being confident w her sexuality to you or her just having fun… this is just gross and not necessary.’ 

    ‘Degenerate! Sign of the times, ‘This has to be joke…’: ‘This gimmick is getting tired ngl.’

    However, others defended the star, with one writing, ‘Her music is not for children and if you as a parent don’t monitor what your kids are listening to that’s your fault.’

    Now in a new clip Sabrina unveiled a ‘Juno position for the lesbians’ as she
    kneeled down on stage and seemingly simulated oral sex.

    One person shared the clip to X writing: ‘ Grammy Award winning Sabrina Carpenter is under fire after
    performing a “new Juno position for the lesbians”

    Fans were quick to comment, slamming the singer and branding her behaviour ‘inappropriate’ and ‘desperate for attention’

    Since kicking off her tour on June 20, the hitmaker has surprised crowds by acting out different sex positions while singing the line: ‘Have
    you ever tried this one?’

    from Manchester show

    Sabrina has come under fire for her ‘inappropriate’ shows, most recently her tour stop in London last weekend.

    She performed her signature suggestive dance moves while sporting
    a glittering set – flashing her underwear as she performed.

    The artist also sparked outrage after her sexually charged BRITS performance.

    She was clad in red lingerie during the Brits, showcasing some X-rated moves as she paid homage to
    the UK.

    Ofcom received more than 800 complaints over the show,
    thanks to Sabrina’s raunchy routine and Charlie XCX’s see-through outfit.

    Last year, Sabrina left the internet in a bitter uproar after simulating oral sex with a microphone while performing at the Kia Forum in Los
    Angeles.

    Although she has acted out various raunchy bedroom positions on stage during her
    hit track, Juno, over her Short n’ Sweet Tour, a number of social media users accused the singer of crossing the line with this one.

    It comes just weeks after Sabrina added another new explicit
    dance move to her repertoire during her concert in Paris while
    performing Juno 

    She recently sparked outrage after her sexually charged
    BRITS performance. She was clad in red lingerie during
    the Brits, showcasing some X-rated moves 

    ‘Sabrina is one step away from starting an OnlyFans at this point,’ one X user stated after watching a video of Carpenter dropping to her knees
    and acting out the X-rated move.

    During this portion of her show, she has demonstrated everything from reverse cowgirl and the splits to the classic missionary position.

    Last year, Carpenter defended herself after facing backlash over her sexualized costumes and concert choreography.

    ‘You’ll still get the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing,’ she
    told Time. ‘And to that I just say, don’t come to the show and
    that’s OK.’

    She continued: ‘It’s unfortunate that it’s ever been something
    to criticize, because truthfully, the scariest thing in the world is getting up on a stage in front of that
    many people and having to perform as if it’s nothing.
    If the one thing that helps you do that is
    the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that’s what you’ve
    got to do.’

    Scalp issues is increasingly becoming a common concern in today’s fast-paced world.
    Due to pollution, nutritional gaps, and hormonal imbalances, a significant number of adults are struggling with early signs of hair damage.
    What is often overlooked is that long-term hair wellness
    is rooted with addressing core health imbalances
    rather than just treating surface-level symptoms.

    Emerging studies highlight that supporting scalp health and reducing
    inflammation can greatly improve hair quality. A consistent regimen of
    herbal support has been shown to improve hair density and shine.

    Moreover, steering clear of synthetic solutions may support long-term
    follicle health.

    Embracing a more natural, internal-first strategy mirrors a deeper awareness of personal well-being.
    As more people seek answers, options rooted in nature and science are being widely embraced.

    In today’s life, many individuals are experiencing hearing challenges that often go unnoticed.
    Noise pollution has become a silent villain in our modern environments,
    silently affecting natural ear function. Interestingly, science reveals that even moderate levels
    of background noise can lead to auditory fatigue over time.

    On top of that, over the years, our hearing system becomes more delicate to environmental toxins, emphasizing the importance to adopt preventive habits.
    Simple lifestyle changes like reducing headphone usage can go a long way in protecting auditory health.

    It’s fascinating how plant-based practices are now
    being revisited to support hearing wellness in a non-invasive way.

    Even if you’re symptom-free, it’s never too early to take action.

    As our daily routines become increasingly hectic, chronic health issues are becoming more common,
    especially those connected to poor metabolic function. What many people don’t realize is
    that, a lesser-known trigger behind these conditions is the accumulation of harmful toxins.
    They silently disrupt the pancreas’ natural function, leading to irregular blood sugar levels.

    A growing number of wellness advocates emphasize that detoxifying the body—particularly the pancreas and bloodstream—can revive optimal body function. In tandem with daily habits like clean nutrition and regular movement, plant-based ingredients
    rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents are thought to aid in this process.

    Though not a miracle fix, ongoing internal cleansing may
    influence long-term vitality and sugar management.

    Projektowanie układów elektrycznych w domach jednorodzinnych to działaniem
    niezbędnym do przeprowadzenia starannego zbadania specyfikacji systemu oraz stosowania obowiązujących przepisów.
    Głównym zadaniem takiego projektowania stanowi gwarancja
    ochrony mieszkańców i optymalnego działania systemu.

    W pierwszej kolejności należy przeprowadzić szczegółową analizę wymagań technicznych i określić moc systemu
    oraz system ochrony przed porażeniem prądem.
    W dalszym procesie stanowi sporządzeniu szczegółowej dokumentacji technicznej, w której diagramy instalacji oraz opis użytych materiałów.

    Kluczowym aspektem tworzenia jest wybór odpowiednich komponentów, które powinny
    spełniać przepisy bezpieczeństwa. Warto podkreślić, żeby każdy komponent oddziałuje na bezpieczeństwo systemu.
    Ponadto istotne jest także zapewnienie łatwej modernizacji
    oraz możliwości rozbudowy w przyszłości.

    Reasumując, reguły tworzenia systemów elektrycznych bazują na przemyślanej strategii oraz przestrzeganiu aktualnych standardów.
    Skrupulatne podejście umożliwia optymalną
    pracę systemu oraz redukuje niebezpieczeństwa użytkowania.
    W związku z tym każdy projekt musi spełniać aktualnymi normami,
    które stanowi gwarancję trwałości a także bezproblemowej eksploatacji instalacji.
