![]() The excitement built from there with “Patience,” ( Separation) a rough and angry song that really got the crowd enthusiastic. The third-to-last song was “More to Me” ( Separation), a personal favorite of mine that sounded great live and was one of those songs that required the audience to obey the head banging command. ![]() It’s a slower song but angry, dark, and fun to sing along to, especially the chorus and the ending where Simmons emotionally belts out, “I always see you in my sleep.” “I Can’t Do This Alone” was still a great choice since it’s something that the band doesn’t play often. Rumor has it that the band isn’t too fond of its old songs, which is pretty typical among bands who have an evolving sound. Despite people shrieking the song title, the band went with “I Can’t Do This Alone” ( Only Boundaries) instead. It was evident that most of the crowd would have liked to hear “Alone for Now” next, an incredibly angsty song off the old EP I Just Want To Be Pure. A slow and simple beginning turned into a climactic, dense chorus that willed people to scream at the top of their lungs along with Simmons. “Echo” ( Separation) came next, a dark and very slow song with heavy drums that still managed to inspire a few of those ambitious stage divers, despite the softness of Simmons’ voice relative to B&C’s other work.Īfter taking a break with the chill atmosphere of “Echo,” the crowd was instantly enthralled by the opening chords of “Burden” (Tigers Jaw split). It’s quite different from B&C’s past work, but still so good! It has perhaps less of a grungy sound than songs off Separation. The audience was then pleasantly surprised by “You Can’t Fix Me,” a new song off the upcoming split with Braid. The crowd clearly agreed with me, especially during the part where Simmons sings, "It's always on my troubled mind." “Show Your Face” reminds me of “Quake” pace-wise, except in my opinion it has more opportunities to scream along and is loads more fun. ![]() “Show Your Face,” was next, a song off the 2009 EP Only Boundaries. Although not the most exciting of B&C's work in terms of pace, the crowd was equally pumped by “Stonehands.” The majority of the audience belted along and there were even a few crowd surfers, despite the slow speed of the song. The songs gradually slowed down with “Void,” ( Separation) a short and gloomy tune and “Stonehands,” ( Separation) one of my personal favorites. He definitely did not back down, even from the screaming parts in songs like “Kaleidoscope” and “I Tore You Apart in My Head.” The sickness was apparent, as Simmons often seemed to lose his voice in the middle of songs, cough it out when he had the chance, and continue to give it his best. "You're the only medicine I need…that was bad," he said. Midway through, Simmons mentioned that the audience was making him feel better. Simmons started out by saying that the entire band was feeling pretty sick, half-jokingly blaming it on drummer Bailey Van Ellis, and asking for the audience's help to sing along and help them through the set. The audience really got into this one as head bobbing morphed into crowd surfing and screaming. “Kaleidoscope” followed, a grungier but quick song off the band's 2010 split with Tigers Jaw, which many fans regard as their best work. A great choice for an opener in my opinion, as it is light compared to other B&C tunes, but still a lot of fun. 22, at a great new venue in Cambridge called The Sinclair, starting with "Quake" off the band’s only full-length LP, Separation. Six dates were confirmed, saying that "These shows are the only shows we have planned in our future, we would love if you joined us one last time." The band later added extra dates due to high demand.I joined the crowd in following Simmons's directions last night, Feb.
