Not usually a venue that recognises hardcore as much as it should, Concorde 2 hosted four heavy hitting bands that would of really aroused the punk/metal heads out there. Every Time I Die lead the march, distinguishing their ever prevalent southern metalcore roots and with a record label change to Epitaph in ’09 there still going strong and kicking the shit out of any venue they come across. Exciting supports such as Defeater and Spy Catcher cranked up the noise beforehand with San Francisco based Trash Talk taking the reins before the headliners. With a new EP entitled ‘Awake’, the energy of frontman Lee Spielman belittled even the most menacing onlooker.
