[ATTENDED: November 17, 2021] The Word Alive
The Word Alive was up next and I found them to be a puzzling band.
Their name sounds like they’re a Christian band. But I don’t think they are.
Their sound was ll over the place during this show. Which is not a bad thing, although it felt more confused than intentional.
Their third song “Misery” (a new song) was a singalong and lead singer Tyler Smith got everyone doing a hand wave back and forth.
But their earlier song “Trapped” which I guess was a bit of a hit single back in the day featured some really dirty screamed vocals from both Smith and one of the guitarists.
And in this song Smith yelled at us for not giving enough back.
It was kind of all over the place.
The band has had many lineup change over the years and apparently half the band left just before this tour.
I won’t say I didn’t like them, because I did, but it didn’t really do a lot for me.
