Bayside

Bayside was phenomenal! A lot of crowd interaction/sing-a-long from crowd in the best way. They are a seasoned group of performers and it shows. Armor for Sleep and Finch were solid. Winona Fighter has great energy and did their job to break the ice with the crowd and set the tone. In 5 years I won't be surprised to see them headlining. Sound was well mixed for all of the bands but hearing protection was a must. Finch was loud. HOB is a nice venue with minimal sightline problems and monitors were on for the whole show too. Stage setup worked well for quick changes between sets, allowing for ample time for Bayside. It didn't feel like a ton of downtime but enough time for bathroom breaks. My one complaint was not enough toilet paper in the ladies room. But the venue did make an attempt to correct the problem. Great show, great experience over all.
