[DID NOT ATTEND: May 24, 2022] Turnstile / Citizen / Ceremony / Ekulu / Truth Cult
The new Turnstile record is fun and wild. And I’ve heard that a Turnstile live show was absolutely bonkers. I wanted to go to this show, although the prospect of five bands in one night is exhausting.
Plus I had tickets to see Sondre Lerche (they couldn’t be more different options)–which we wound up not going to anyhow.
Citizen are a rocking band who embrace a lot of styles. I hear some post punk and some shoegaze wrapped in an emo blanket. I rather dig their stuff.
Ceremony were a hardcore band who have expanded their palette a bit. Indeed, one of their newest songs has a female vocalist singing gently in the middle of the song.
Ekulu, are a crossover hardcore band with lots of screaming metal solos.
Truth Cult throws in a bunch of influences. There’ a lot of 70s rock in their delivery (those backing vocals and riffs) but the lead vocals are firmly in the punk realm. There’s a hint of Fucked Up on their overall sound, as well.
