He seemed genuinely amazed at the reception they got throughout their short yet energetic set, which contained a few tracks from their latest record, 'Let's Cheer To This' and a couple from their previous album, followed by their most popular track 'If I'm James Dean, Then You're Audrey Hepburn.' These guys are a band to watch out for, with the reaction they received from the crowd, it would not surprise me if they were back headlining a similar sized venue in the near future. Frontman Kellin Quinn had an excellent vocal range and stage presence. Although they're the 'softest' band on the tour so to speak, the crowd were at their rowdiest. The first band to come on stage was Sleeping With Sirens, and as it was their first time overseas, I got caught by surprise as the guitar kicked into their first song and the packed venue went wild.
With a suitably promising line-up and the idea of a sold-out show at the O2 Academy2 in Birmingham, I was incredibly excited to see what each band had to offer. After Californian exports A Skylit Drive's latest album 'Identity On Fire' received a rapturous reception, it was merely a matter of time before the post-hardcore outfit announced their first set of UK shows since April 2010.
