[ATTENDED: November 12, 2026] Uniity

I was really excited to see The OBGMs again after having seen them a few years ago open for Oxymorrons.  I didn’t know either of the opening acts.  I had assumed that Uniity was from Canada as well, but I was way wrong.  She is from West Philly.

She got into heavy music via Lamb of God and Pierce the Veil and hat’s how she learned how to scream and DAMN that young woman can scream!  She put out her first album at 17 (in 2022).  She joked about how young she was when she put out those records, but they maintained a great intensity.

I loved how she was wearing a black bra with heavy metal spikes on it–no one is copping a feel–awesome.  She got right into the crowd and slammed her way all around the floor.

She sang strongly and then produced some throat shredding screams that were incredible.

The band opened with a jam while she limbered up.  The setlist below is from a photo of the setlist so I don’t know what all of the songs are called.  Some are new, as well.

She introduced the band, but I didn’t catch their names.  The bassist had a great low end and their guitarist came out to the floor a couple of times to totally shred.  Their drummer was great, too, playing hard and fast but bring in some subtleties when the songs slowed a bit. (more…)

[ATTENDED: November 12, 2026] Community Chapstick

I was really excited to se The OBGMs again after having seen them a few years ago open for Oxymorrons.  I didn’t know either of the opening acts.  It turns out that Community Chapstick is from Newark, DE.  A trio who rocks out in both English and Spanish.

Disko StarTits on bass and vocals.  She had a great bass sound and, while she said she was losing her voice, she sang great and could scream when necessary.  I loved when she came out into the crowd, shoved her way to the middle of the floor and played while slamming into people.

Donovan Burt sang lead on about half of the songs and a couple times he put his guitar down and it was just drums and bass while he came into the crowd and sang or rapped.

In the back, Ebbi on drums was never obtrusive but played hard and fast. (more…)
