Photo Recap: Underoath “Erase Me” Tour at the Shrine
Janky Smooth Central Command
November 14, 2018
Underoath are back and no longer playing under the “christian” moniker. This musical resurrection came to the Shrine Expo Hall for the Erase Me tour with Dance Gavin Dance, Crown The Empire, and The Plot in You. Fans waited anxiously in silence until just like a kick to the face, post-hardcore heroes, Underoath hit the stage, blaring with “On My Teeth” off their new album, Erase Me. People went nuts, jumping over the railing and crowd surfing while the band reeked havoc on stage. Then just as things were getting extremely heavy and intesne, this giant and gentle band brought the crowd to tears with “I Hate It”. Over all, it was a killer show to mark the rebirth of Underoath from start to finish. Photos by: Pedro Carrera Underoath Dance Gavin Dance Crown The Empire The Plot in You

Even though Riot Fest shared some devastating news regarding Blink 182’s cancellation (due to health issues) a few short days before the festival, Riot Fest was able to recover quickly by booking Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, and Run the Jewels. related content: How Riot Fest Chicago 2016 Survived The Misfits Subpar Performance Even with Blink 182’s absence, there was no shortage of their songs, with multiple Blink 182 covers sung over the weekend to honor the band, with both Weezer and Young the Giant covering “All the Small Things”. The festival layout was somewhat cozy, with five stages of proximity, a freak show, a variety of carnival rides, and of course pretty much any fried food your heart desired. Overall, Riot Fest 2018 was a major success despite some last minute lineup changes, so here is a recap of my adventure in Chicago this past weekend. related content: Jawbreaker At Riot Fest: The Moment I Stopped Hating Pop Punk Day 1 I first arrived at the festival
