Show Review: Snow Patrol (Indianapolis, IN)

Review & Photos By: Pix Meyers

Local radio station WTTS held the second Rock to Read show of 2018 featuring Snow Patrol at the Murat Theatre inside Old National Center. Rock to Read is a series of shows hosted annually by WTTS and local sponsors Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza and You Move Me that raises money for children’s literacy and helps benefit children’s reading programs with the Indianapolis Public Libraries.

The boys from Ireland via Scotland did not disappoint. Snow Patrol consisting of band members: Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar, piano, keys), Jonny Quinn (drums), Nathan Connolly (guitar), Paul Wilson (bass), and Johnny McDaid (keys, guitar) highlighted tunes from their new album “Wilderness” including hits “Don’t Give Up”, “Empress” and “What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get”. The band was energetic and engaging to the delighted fans even joking that “This can’t be a Wednesday night as this feels more like a Saturday crowd!” Before the night was done, Snow Patrol made their way through their catalog including hits “Take Back the City”, “Chasing Cars”, and “Shut Your Eyes”.

Snow Patrol continues dates in the US through November 2018 before heading across the pond to finish out the tour. Check here for dates and make sure to catch this show if coming to a town near you.

Show Review: Counterparts (San Antonio, TX)

Photos & Review By: Chapin Patel

The Canadian/American band, Counterparts have been touring the U.S. in promotion of their newest release entitled “Private Room” (Pure Noise Records). Counterparts have decided to steer from the norm of heavy music and carry with them a mixed genre bill to keep things interesting. Counterparts gives one of the most high energy sets in modern music today.

This show in San Antonio Texas is no exception, Brendan (Vocalist) knows how to command a crowd and keep the participation up. (Brendan) Letting loose these throat shredding screams that are just pouring with raw emotion, Blake (Guitarist) completely blowing your mind with impeccable musicianship and knowing how to create dramatic sequences in these song.

The 5 piece band achieves every ounce of what Counterparts means to the fans and new listeners and really drive the point home that “Yes, this is a Counterparts show and I can’t receive this feeling from any other show.”

Be sure to be apart of the Private Room Tour and join Counterparts in celebration for heavy music, emotive music and the raw passion of musicianship.
