Antics kicked things off (on time, thank you very much) and the Fat Wreck Chords inspired punk rock brought a smile to my face as soon as I walked through the door. These boys have a bright future ahead (and I apologize for not getting video—the battery was dead. I'll get you next time).
Ogden's favorite band Right On Track was next and gave everyone a good look at the future of hardcore in Utah. The boys get better each time they play and are having no trouble living up to their adopted title.
After that, Reviver—back from their most recent West Coast tour and armed with a slew of new songs—took the stage (or floor, rather) and delivered a fast-paced and fully charged set. Reviver has been working hard and the new stuff sounds great—let's hope they keep it up for a long time.
Punk rock was the theme of the evening and Flint, Michigan's The Swellers kept it going just the way it should be—fast and catchy. The band recently signed to Fueled By Ramen and have big things in their future, but you'll be able to say you saw them up close and personal way back when.
Finally, the band everyone came to see was on. Broadway Calls—on their way to the east coast—made a special stop in Salt Lake City and did not disappoint. High five's and sing-a-longs were in place all night as the band tore through songs from their newest release Good Views, Bad News and a lot of older favorites, too. They'll be on the road with The Gaslight Anthem and Bouncing Souls later this year, so keep your eyes on them. They're about to blow up.
Thanks to everyone for coming out and making it as much fun as it was.
