The next great band for us to feature on our Vans Warped Tour Coverage is none other than the melodically heavy, Ice Nine Kills. This was the first time I saw them perform live and I have been looking forward to it. They completely blew my expectations and exceeded them in so many ways. I always knew they deliver a solid energetic set but they really took the reins of the crowd and have everyone fired up. The first day we saw them, they were performing at the first slot of the day on the Monster Stage. Everyone seemed to already know because as the gates opened, the crowd funneled in and went right to the Monster Stage. The singer is a true crowd pleaser as he made it down to the crowd and interacted with them throughout their set.

Ice Nine Kills is:

Spencer – Vocals, Screams
JD – Guitar, Screams
Conor – Drums
Justin – Bass

Together these four dominated that stage and the crowd seemed to know every word of their songs. It was awesome to see such crowd participation and how the energy transferred from listener to performer and back again, increasing in intensity as the set went on. Check out the photos by Rockin Ryan of their Warped Tour sets:
