Again, I can't thank everyone enough—you guys came out and made this show awesome and you guys continue to visit the site and make everything we're doing worthwhile. That said, on to the review.
The time constraints at New Song Underground are kind of a bummer, but it all worked out in the end.
Collapse started the evening off and tore through five songs in a little under 20 minutes. Hopefully we'll have the recording up soon because we're excited for you to hear it.
Seattle's xParasitic Skiesx was next and they added a welcome twist to the vegan-straight edge sound that everyone is accustomed to. They've got a 7" coming out on Seventh Dagger soon, so keep an eye out for that.
After that was Unrestrained from Portland, OR. These guys picked up the pieces of The Dead Unknown and took them to the next level. Their love of 90s hardcore shined through and made them one of the highlights of the evening.
Connecticut's Signs of Hope were after that, making their first stop in Utah since a Wild Mushroom Pizza show way back in the summer of 2006. The fast, traditional hardcore was the perfect anthem for the sing-a-longs and (could it be true?) circle pits.
Last, but certainly not least, was Salt Lake's own xReflectx. With this being their second to last show ever, the boys were in fine form—despite a few technical difficulties that were easily overcome. The band put on a solid show (as usual) and only showed how big of a void will be left in the Salt Lake City Hardcore scene once they're gone.
