25 years ago, one of the best bands in the Warped Tour/emo music scene emerged with their Self-Titled album, and let’s just say that same band is still touring, performing, and writing new music! But they decided to do 6 dates in Chicago celebrating 3 very special albums, and I was lucky enough to cover the opening night of this tour with my favorite album! Now the band played the self-titled album, and its eternity plus an Encore song, which was “Choke Me”. The crowd, however, was sold out, of course, but was a mix of just singing, moshing, and crowd surfing, depending on what song Bert was singing on stage! Now, the coolest part about this stage setup without giving to much away was the into, and oh my goodness, did I not only feel old, but it just showed they were going back to their roots with this tour!

Now, during this tour, they are playing 3 dates per city, which means a different album each night! The 3 albums are Self-Titled, Love and Death, and Lies for Liars! So if one of those albums is your favorite, then try and find tickets if you can because these are selling out like crazy! If you are a fan of the band but not sure what night to do, I say do the night you feel like you may have the most fun! Overall, one of my favorite shows this year and something I will never forget!
