SUMMARY:AFI at Marquee Theatre
DESCRIPTION:AFI are leaders\, not followers. A collective in a perpetual state of creative evolution as fluid as the evocative figures contorting on the cover of Bodies\, their newest collection of songs. The record is a snapshot of unrelenting artists in motion\, unconcerned with compromise or outside demands. \nThe band initially summoned a steady subcultural groundswell in the mid-90s\, devoid of careerist ambitions. The band first made music as teenaged misfits in an obscure Northern California town\, steadily assembling a dense catalog over the years marked by its diversity and authenticity. \nThe platinum success of Sing the Sorrow blazed a path for a generation of hardcore-punk weaned bands to similarly crossover. 2006’s Decemberunderground upended expectations again and earned AFI a second platinum plaque. Crash Love was another adventurous turn\, with expansive and almost optimistic-sounding melodies\, glistening with emotion. The haunting Burials arrived four years later\, debuting in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The self-titled follow-up\, commonly referred to as “the Blood Album\,” became AFI’s second-highest charting album since their inception\, debuting at No. 5 in 2017. \n \n \nKnown for their androgynous image\, prominent use of reverb-laden guitar work\, and forlorn vocals akin to the style of early Killing Joke\, Drab Majesty are an alternative neo-goth project from Los Angeles\, California. Led by singer/songwriter Andrew Clinco (aka Deb DeMure)\, Drab Majesty came about after Clinco decided to focus his creative energy on his own work\, primarily geared toward particular aural and visual aesthetics. Following their emergence in 2011\, the group gained critical acclaim in 2015 with their DAIS Records debut Careless\, and 2017 follow-up The Demonstration. \nRaised in a musical household during the early 2000s\, Clinco became more interested in making music after discovering abandoned vinyl in the bins of the local thrift stores around Hollywood. He developed a taste for the culturally defining sounds of acts from previous decades such as Siouxsie and the Banshees\, Red Lorry\, Yellow Lorry\, and Felt. Clinco also found time to build up his own musical abilities by teaching himself to play his father’s guitar and attending regular church visits with his grandmother\, where the expansive range of the church choir and the naturally cavernous acoustics of the church would later influence his eclectic vocal style. \nOver time\, Clinco began to experiment with various instruments and styles\, and eventually found his first niche in handling drum duties for post-rock outfit Marriages and neo-goth darkwave band Black Mare. After having established himself on the gig circuit and extensive recordings with both bands\, Clinco felt he needed to delve deeper into his own creativity and inner consciousness by developing a multi-angled project of his own. Interested in creating something that traversed visual arts as well as aural textures in which he could become “a vessel” for outside influences flowing inwardly through him\, the idea ultimately resulted in the character of Deb DeMure and the world of Drab Majesty. Opting for a blend of ’80s-esque new wave with jangly\, reverberated guitars and ethereal synth leads\, DeMure amassed a number of songs\, and Drab Majesty put out the independent release Uranian Dances in 2012 in a limited run of 100 cassette tapes. The effort was later picked up and re-pressed by Lollipop Records. \nDrab Majesty then went on to sign with DAIS Records and release the full-length effort Careless in late 2015. The record was a success\, with many critics praising its use of nostalgic sound and its crystalline production techniques. Drab Majesty then went out on the road to promote the record\, in support of acts such as Clan of Xymox\, the Black Queen\, and DAIS labelmates King Dude and Youth Code. It was around this time that DeMure added keyboardist Alex Nicolaou (aka Mona D) to the band. These numerous live appearances\, both in the U.S. and overseas\, began to expose the project to a wider audience\, earning them an ever-increasing fan base. \nIt wasn’t long until Drab Majesty’s followers were demanding another full-length release. They got what they wanted with The Demonstration\, issued in early 2017. The effort featured the project’s signature sound alongside more prominent use of synthesizers\, effects\, and post-punk-influenced guitar work. They spent the following year writing and recording their third LP. Modern Mirror arrived in May 2019. ~ Rob Wacey\, Rovi

SUMMARY:I Prevail | Pierce The Veil & Fit For A King at The Van Buren
DESCRIPTION:Platinum-certified and twice GRAMMY-nominated Michigan rock powerhouse I PREVAIL — Brian Burkheiser (vocals)\, Eric Vanlerberghe (vocals)\, Steve Menoian (guitars/bass)\, Dylan Bowman (guitars)\, and Gabe Helguera (drums) — have announced their first North American headline tour in support of their new album TRUE POWER. Their much-anticipated album was just released via Fearless Records on August 19. You can check out the video for “Body Bag” here. Also\, the band shows off its dynamic chops with “Self-Destruction” here. \n  \nI Prevail have established themselves as the forerunners of the genre in the 21st century. TRUE POWER\, once again produced by Tyler Smith\, features the sort of stadium-sized riffs that will rattle your teeth loose from your gums and unforgettable\, supremely catchy melodies that will camp out in your brain for weeks at a time. The band also alternately mixes screamed vocals that sound as though they crawled from the depths of hell with soaring\, emotional vocals and heartfelt\, intimate lyrics that go so deep\, they hit marrow. The end result is an album that resonates with the listener in the most personal way. Rising to an arena level and receiving two Grammy nominations\, I Prevail proved that they were built to last. \n \n \nRight now\, Pierce the Veil are at their most raw\, crackling with urgency and immediacy. Never predictable\, always engaging\, Pierce the Veil continue to soar on the strength of highly potent energy\, rich musicality\, and a scrappy sense of authentic exuberant ambition that’s frankly unrivaled. Frontman Vic Fuentes\, guitarist Tony Perry\, and bassist Jaime Preciado put volatile\, angsty\, confessional emotions into the music\, which is why their songs resonate with so many. “No matter where the band performs\, fans will show up\,” wrote Loudwire. “When you see Pierce The Veil live\, you’ll understand why.” \nPTV’s evolution from album to album is nothing less than stunning. The early buzz generated by A Flair for the Dramatic (2007) made its follow-up one of the most anticipated albums of 2010. Selfish Machines shot to No.1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. The Chicago Tribune saluted Collide with the Sky for its “post-hardcore punk with more than a few nods to Queen.” They became a true arena act on Misadventures\, selling out huge venues without losing the intimate connection with their fans. \nPierce the Veil have long cemented their status as one of the most exciting and relevant acts in their genre — by constantly evolving. \n \n \nTrauma and tragedy transfer from one generation to the next. As difficult as it may be\, we still possess the power to break the cycle and start anew. Fit For A King ponder the pain of these cycles and the possibility to end them on their seventh full-length offering\, The Hell We Create [Solid State]. The Texas quintet—Ryan Kirby [vocals]\, Bobby Lynge [guitar]\, Daniel Gailey [guitar]\, Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary [bass]\, and Trey Celaya [drums]—explore this ebb and flow with a deft\, yet delicate balance of sharp metallic intensity and soaring melodic energy. “The album is a reflection of the events that happened throughout the pandemic\,” recalls Ryan. “In short\, my wife and I adopted children and had to homeschool them. She almost died from a stroke. The Hell We Create is by far the deepest and most personal record we’ve ever written.” In 2011\, Fit For A King emerged out of Texas with a searing signature style rooted in metal and hardcore and uplifted by hypnotic hooks. Following the breakout LP Creation/Destruction [2013]\, they earned four consecutive Top 5 debuts on both the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart and the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart with Slave to Nothing [2014]\, Deathgrip [2016]\, Dark Skies [2018]\, and The Path [2020]. The latter marked their first #1 on the Top Christian Albums Chart and Top 10 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart. Plus\, the band collaborated with fellow heavy-hitters such as August Burns Red and We Came As Romans. \n \n
