A Wilhelm Sceam @ The Reverb, September 25

On Friday, I started my weekend by seeing Massachusetts punk band, A Wilhelm Scream at The Reverb. This was my 2nd time seeing them. I saw them opening for Streetlight Manifesto in January, who happens to have played the day after this show (I will write about that show in my next blog).

We got to The Reverb in time to see the opener, The Artist life, a local pop punk band. They were great and I knew most of their songs, but it wasn't anything special for me considering this was my 5th time seeing them.

When The Artist Life finished, A Wilhelm Scream was up next. By the time they got on stage, there was about 350 people there, which isn't terrible for a sketchy venue such as The Reverb. The show was filled with stage diving, guitar solos, and 10 people circle pits. I was squished against the stage along with 40 other people; this way I was merely centimetre's away from the guitarist, so I could touch his guitar if I wanted too. They played for an hour or so, and then played one more song for the encore. By the end of the show I was soaked in sweat, which usually is a sign of a great show.
