Memphis May Fire at Mr. Smalls

 May 10th, 2018, Memphis May Fire  performed at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, PA. The hardcore rock band from Nashville, TN rocked the walls of the former church. The set was an unyielding tranquility of guitars with the tremendous vocal power from singer, Matty Mullins.  The bands energy emitted positive vibes  throughout the venue that the audience unquestionably took in.  Memphis May Fire was not alone, they were accompanied by The Word Alive, Fire From the Gods, Awake At Last, and 156/Silence. A night equaily as good as the talent that graced the stage of Mr. Smalls.

Scenes From A Movie at Smiling Moose

Scenes From A Movie reunited for a very special 10th anniversary tour of their album,  "The Pulse." The guys kicked off the tour in Pittsburgh at The Smiling Moose, then carry forward to Brooklyn, Marietta, and Detroit.  Time and Distance joined Scenes as their special guests as well as a few other bands for different dates on the limited tour.  From the Pittsburgh show, Mace Ballard initiated the night of music.  Greg McGrowan of Time and Distance did an intimate acoustic set and Almost Cool kept the vibe going for Scenes to finish off the evening with "The Pulse" played in its entirety.  Hopefully this is not the last time we see Scenes From A Movie perform.

Punchline's "Lion" Album Release Show

 It is said that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, but Punchline decided to shuffle up the old saying. On March 31st, they released their eight album, Lion, with a show fit for a king. No, really, they came on stage to The Lion King and had Punchline IPA beer with a lion on it.  The Colourshow, The Stolen, and The Morning Light started off the night right at Mr. Smalls Theatre. Punchline played a few songs from their new album with some long time fan favorites. According to Chris Fafalios, the band's bassist and co-founding member, “If you already like our band,” he says, “there’s a good chance this will be your favorite album of ours. I feel pretty strongly this is the album people want from us.” (source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) And he is not lying about the album. Lion goes father with the human experience than some of their earlier works. It is a well crafted body of songs that is packaged with a nice bow, that bow being Steve Soboslai talented songwriting. 

Editor's picks: "Darkest Dark," "Green Hills 2018," & "Something Happened in 1988."
