Photos and Video from Crown The Empire’s set in Chico for the Break Down The Walls Tour

April 18, 2014

Last week, we covered the Asking Alexandria show at The Senator Theater in Chico, CA. This was the only California stop on the Break Down The Walls Tour and there was no way we were going to miss it. What was awesome is that the tour included a great group of bands. One of the opening bands was Crown The Empire and they delivered a heavy rock set worthy of our attention. The band came out and immediately captured the attention of the crowd. They are full of energy as they bounced across the stage unleashing their music and enthralled the listeners. What is awesome about Crown The Empire is that their sound is a mix of hard/heavy rock to post-hardcore, interweaving melodies to scream vocals, but never overdoing it either way. They have finely balanced their musical fusions in order to create a unique and quite infectious sound. They were definitely one of my favorites of the new night. You can check out the photos of Crown The Empire by our Rockin Ryan here: Their debut album [Read More]

All Time Low gives the crowd their all time high with their amazing set at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento

April 17, 2014

We have been anxiously waiting for the A Love Like Tour to come to town and earlier this week, we were able to catch the sold out show in Sacramento, CA. Openers Handguns and Man Overboard warmed up the crowd and proved that the night would be a pop punk invasion.  Headliners All Time Low came out and performed to a completely packed house. For a Tuesday night, I couldn’t believe how crowded it was, but with the dedicated fan base of All Time Low it should come as no surprise.  All Time Low has consistently packed venues and always deliver a solid show that leaves people talking about it for a long time after. The band came out to a crowd filled with balloons floating around and the fans wildly chanting their name. They started with their get up and go song, “Do You Want Me”. From the first song to the last, there was nonstop energy and these four young guys fueled with adrenaline in their veins delivered a performance that was spectacular.  Singer [Read More]
