Summer Slaughter is ripping through North America on its 11th year. Born Of Osiris is no stranger to playing this tour. It was their first time playing Concord Music Hall though. They really amped up the crowd and played a seriously killer set. Their energy was electric and difficult not to get into (not that we were trying to resist). Their new single “Silence the Echo” was received with great reception. It’s always a pleasure having the boys back in their hometown for a show. For more Summer Slaughter dates, check out the dates below.

AWOLNATION is such a fun band. Aaron Bruno’s charisma is just stunning. Having a much liking for this band before covering their show, they’ve certainly become a favorite after seeing them headline at 101WKQX PIQNIQ. Just check out the cool aesthetic of the pictures below and you’ll get a small taste of not only how awesome AWOLNATION is, but also how great their live shows are. The cherry on top is having captured some of these images while they performed “Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf).” This is a band that songwriter and frontman Aaron Bruno has said, “will age as a fine wine.” We cannot wait to stay tuned in to all they have in store for the future. Here come the runts, indeed.

AWOLNATION are playing select dates this summer and into the fall at various US music festivals. Check http://www.awolnationmusic.com and their Facebook page as well for details.

Dashboard Confessional is always a breath of fresh air to see. The last time we covered them, it was also an outdoor show. The lighting this time around for their set at 101WKQX PIQNIQ was a bit dark until the burst of everything at the end of the last song. The lighting was great and every band member went full out. Lead guitarist and backing vocalist Armon Jay ended up on the ground shredding his guitar, drummer Chris Kamrada went double time on bass and cymbal hits and bassist Scott Schoenbeck and lead vocalist Chris Carrabba covered the rest of the stage with hair whips, jumps, and serious energy. If only we had been able to be up close for those moments. Hopefully someone in the crowd captured something of that amazing outro. While we can’t show you any of that, here’s what did capture and can show you from their set:

On a scorching, hot day of a heat index of 108℉, rock lovers of spanning ages made the trek to Tinley Park for 101WKQX PIQNIQ 2018. With the disappointing cancellation of Greta Van Fleet, Bishop Briggs was moved from the St. Xavier Stage to the Main Stage. What followed was black-and-white picturesque band, The Neighbourhood.
