Citizen Soldier

We could not wait for this show and it was just as amazing as we thought it would be! It was crowded, so we upgraded to VIP and it was not expensive either, which allowed us to get closer and have the best view! This was an early birthday present from myself to Ibey, and I have never seen Ibey so excited and he knew almost all of the lyrics 😁 These guys are an independent band we found randomly on Instagram around two years ago! The lead singer is a trauma therapist for his day job, so their shows are different, but in a great way and their music focuses on mental health, which is so meaningful! They have built up such a following that a couple came from the UK for this show, another couple from Sweden, and a small group from Norway! 😳 Then after the show we met the lead singer, Jake, got a photo with him and he autographed our shirts 😀

Venue was very warm and not a lot of room, but the staff was phenomenal and went above and beyond to help people! Citizen Soldier was amazing! Great audience interactions, amazing music, and overall such an amazing experience. Icon For Hire gave a great performance and played a really good high energy set. Really enjoyed them. Halocene were good, though I wish they played more original songs and fewer covers. Highlight was definitely Citizen Soldier and the title of "Group Therapy Tour" was very accurate. When it comes to shows that have left me feeling much better mentally after them this tops the chart!

Absolutely Amazing! The Bands were 🔥 and i would tell anyone who hasnt seen them, DO IT! Dont hesitate, buy the tickets! The Venue was great also. They were able to accommodate my disability and enjoy the full show without pushing my physical limits.

By far the best concert I have ever attended. We loved getting to know Halocene and Icon for Hire, but Citizen Soldier really stole the show for us. It was an emotional, beautiful night of amazing music and connecting with others. Can't wait to see them again.

The venue was the perfect size for the show. Atmosphere, drinks and staff were all amazing! I truly enjoyed seeing Citizen Soldier for the first time. Music was great, sound was on point for all performers. I would come back to the Bottom Lounge for other shows,

Citizen Solider was beyond belief once again... Jake (lead vocals) in his dedication to his fans went on with the show despite battling laryngitis, paused the show twice to ensure fans were safe with the extreme heat, and connected person to person afterwards. Truly a unique and welcoming 'group therapy' atmosphere! Going again tomorrow in PA!

Second time seeing Citizen Soldier, but first time it being a full show since last time it was acoustic (which was awesome). Once again , they knocked it out of the park! I did the VIP sound check and had the pleasure of meeting the band again. The fact that they remembered me from the October show was incredible and humbling. It speaks to how much they care about what they do and the fans. The opening acts Halocene and icon for Hire were incredible as well. Very high energy and their performance was amazing. I would definitely see them all again. The venue you Bottom Lounge was nice as well. Great staff and very friendly and professional. It was my wife’s birthday too and she was extremely happy. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

I couldn't have asked for a better night. Halocene, Icon for Hire, and Citizen Soldier all put on fantastic performances. All full of so much love, enthusiasm and support. I was so excited to go and I left with happy tears. I loved everything about the night!

The vip experience was well worth the extra money. They were so chill and down to earth and the show was amazing. They were interactive with the crowd. If you’re in the fence I highly recommend going you won’t be disappointed!

These guys are my favorite band, that's why I splurged on the VIP tickets as an early birthday present for myself. I got into a car accident on the way there, and was unable to participate in the VIP benefits with the other VIPs. The guys brought me and my sister into the green room to hang out with them, because they heard of what happened and wanted to make sure we got some benefits anyway. They played our favorite songs during the show and dedicated them to us. They made us feel so special, getting into that car accident wasn't that bad.

The venue was a bit dark (poorly lit) for my personal taste, but this was by far the best show I've ever been to. The opening band sounded more like someone singing boring lullaby's, but Citizen Soldier absolutely killed it! I'll be back to their show in April for sure!

Drove 3.5 hours to see them and it was WELL WORTH IT! This band not only has the talent it takes but also the heart to truly impact lives. The lead singer even stayed after to meet with fans which shows true devotion and care. Definitely going to see them again!

Citizen Soldier’s music is life changing. It quite literally saved my life. Their songs have so much meaning behind them and help so many people. They show you that you are not alone no matter what you are going through. Getting to see them in concert was absolutely incredible. It was a life changing experience. We even got to meet the band after and got their autographs. They were all so kind and welcoming. This was the best concert by far I have ever been too. They are amazing live. I highly recommend going to one of their concerts. You will not regret it. This was a birthday I will always remember. Thank you citizen!

Amazing band, amazing show, amazing songs! If you ever have a chance to go see Citizen Soldier, do it! They put on an amazing show and were amazing so sit and talk with! They are some kindhearted and amazing guys! I will definitely be going to see them again!

Absolutely Amazing Rockin Time and a Dream come true for me 🔥🎵🤘 I was treated so VERY Nice by your staff and fellow fans as I was in a wheelchair and was given an opportunity to sit were I could see the bands. We'll definitely be back and please get Citizen Soldier back soon please 😊 Thank y'all, Kim of New Bern NC

Purgatory was not as big of a venue as I was expecting. It was so easy to get in and also to do the VIP upgrade. No problems at all. Met some amazing people. The VIP show was amazing and Smash was an amazing band to meet. I will admit though, I was mainly there for Citizen Soldier. And they beyond lived up to my expectations. And Jake holding me while I bawled just made it even better. Can't wait to watch them get bigger

I’d give more stars if I could. What an amazing band with an amazing message. They were kind, stayed afterwards, spoke with everyone who wanted to meet them, posed for dozens of photos, and autographed anything you asked them to! See this band and see them as often as you can! You won’t be disappointed. 🙌🏼🔥♥️

Not my first concert, but by far my best concert experience ever!!!! Jake is such a good guy and have the best hugs and the band was everything I’d imagined then being in person!! I’d never heard Smash into Pieces before but they gained a new big fan last night. Best road trip EVER!!!

Incredible! I'm obsessed with Citizen Soldier anyway, so they were bound to be good, but I've never heard Smash Into Pieces' music before the show and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to. Highly recommend both bands. 💞💞

Citizen Soldier was awesome. Their music literally saved my life when I was feeling extremely depressed and considering ending my life. Being able to see the band whose music saved me and kept me going was unforgettable. Wish they played more than 5 songs though. The main band, Smash Into Pieces, was a band I’ve never heard of until this event. They were very interesting and had some good music.
