Sleeping with sirens gossip tour set full#

The FM-friendly, decently anthemic Legends finishes the main set, and it really brings the crowd together.

Sleeping with sirens gossip tour set full#

Midway through the set, there was вЂ“ maybe of course there was, in a time-honoured rock-tastic way вЂ“ an acoustic breakdown of strumming with no subtlety.В Recent album title track GossipВ lost its вЂњnew swingвЂќ and The Strays was half-acoustic, half full band, with power-house drummer bringing the crowdвЂ™s sternums back to life. The die-hards knowing all the words, screaming at the announcement that вЂњthis next songвЂ™s calledвЂќ and a heap of happy dads, accompanying daughters to first gigs, not really knowing what to do but smiling hard as their sprogs adulated. Upstairs at the Powerstation however, was where the actionвЂ™s at.

Interesting, and maybe slightly perturbing for the band, it was the balcony where all the passion was a barely-full mosh pit merely exposed the downrightВ obnoxious amount of punters watching the show through their zoomed-in cameras. The dedicated front row liked it loud and the band obviously knew that, so there was little attempt to ape the poppy sheen of new songs like LegendsВ or Empire to Ashes. The rambunctious boys continue to tear through their set, taken mostly from their most recent LP, Gossip, and 2015вЂ™s MadnessВ with pockets of back catalogue, like screaming-fan favourite If You CanвЂ™t Hang.

You hope that the future would see more leanings towards the delicate side of QuinnвЂ™s voice, as it is, when not lost, the most distinctive thing about the band. This is the last gig on the Australasian leg of the tour and in a recent 13 thВ Floor interview, Quinn indicated that the band would bridge the gap between pop and rock on their next album. As are the more delicate melodies of new album track Hole in my Heart. Quinn doesnвЂ™t give up through, and the roars of If IвЂ™m James Dean, YouвЂ™re Audrey HepburnВ are reaffirmingly primal. His vocal prancing sadly losing the fight in the mix for most of the gig. He wanders in front of the drums looking dazed. But this leaves lead-singer Kellin QuinnВ looking strangely confused.

But, apart from a certain number of вЂњthese fucked up kidsвЂќ down in the mosh pit, the Powerstation is decidedly empty.Дespite this, all 3 guitarists, Jack Fowler, Nick Martin and Justin HillsВ gambol around and across the stage like their lives depended on it. ItвЂ™s clear that the band are sticking to their harder sound pallet that punctures its way through Powerstation in Auckland, NZ. Here come Sleeping with Sirens, bounding out of the traps with We like it Loud. After 2 stalwart support sets from The FaimВ and Lower than Atlantis, blimey-Charlie, itвЂ™s only just turned quarter to 8.
