From the opening synth of "Aftermath/Afterthought" to the closing notes of "Wasting Time (Eternal Summer)," the band unleashed a torrent of punk-fueled rage and pop punk cheeriness. The crowd sang themselves hoarse, moshed their breath away, and crowd-surfed with unwavering energy. The review highlights the band's ability to blend hardcore foundations with catchy pop punk hooks, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
