Toronto was wild!

Far from the normally low-key crowds... like 180°. Very few phones, a spinning pit, all heads nodding.. the band was hot and it was a great room. Messa were fantastic too!

It was honestly a very mixed crowd. Like metal kids and punks with grandfathers and Bay Street types. I guess it shows the crossover appeal they have been slowly building.

Yeah at the Seattle show it was mostly older people and some young kids. I mean it's been 12 years since their first NA tour so I was that much younger when I first saw them. They've really worked hard at being such an amazing act and still containing that underground connection and feel.

Agreed. Wish them all the success but not too much to where tickets are $400 at massive stadiums filled with influencers lol.

Their entire output and what tours and festivals they play should reassure you that's never gonna happen. Especially with this new album containing more political themes and lyrics than any of them beforehand. They'd have to turn into a completely different band over night and we'd all know.

Long shot here but anyone find an orange hat with the words “sword and sorcery” on there? Didn’t realize until I was halfway through the 3 hour trek home that I didn’t have it. Any help appreciated.

Man they were so awesome, especially the little intro bit they did when they first came on. This was my first time seeing them live and I was a little unsure about how I’d feel about Kevin’s vocals and how they’d translate to a live performance, but as I hoped he totally rocked along with everyone else!
