TROUBLE IS
CHAIN REACTION
AUGUST 23, 2003
Well if you were at Chain Reaction last night than you�ll know it was amazing. I would have to say that every band on this tour played their hearts out for the fans and for themselves most of all. It was like every band was entertaining all the other bands on that tour. So lets began this journey into the indie scene and I will create this vivid image for you guys
So we started the show off with a band called TROUBLE IS, I have never heard of this band but they were not the worst band in the world by far. So their set consisted of four members. I did not get to catch their name but I got to catch their act. So I know they were poppy but they were entertaining. I can say that they did a really cool LUDACRIS cover. But I believe I�m done with this band there was nothing that stood out for me. So I�m moving on.
And now we get to SPITALFIELD a band on the Victory Records label. Okay so I love this band more than words. They started their set off with a bang kids were already jumping up and down and pointing their fingers. Marc on lead vocals stole my heart away every time he sang. Their set was energetic and fun and insane. At one point during their set Pete from FALL OUT BOY staged dived into the crowd. As they carried him for awhile and soon released him on stage. They crowd loved this band singing along to every word and making this show so memorable. I can honestly say that their set was moving. They were not one of those bands that you hear on CD and are like WOW and than you see them live and they suck. No they weren�t they were one of those bands you see and your like that was amazing and I wish they would play one more song. Or you think to yourself when are they coming back. They music was catchy but not cheesy. They are talented guys and I know that they have big plans for themselves.
Now FALL OUT BOY began their set with DEAD ON ARRIVAL, which is on their current release, TAKE THIS TO YOUR GRAVE. So they started their show off with everyone going insane before they could even start kids were already cheering. So I love Patrick he sings amazing. I mean FALL OUT BOY is catchy no doubt about that and their lyrics are so strong that you could relate to them. But you can�t help but love them. So they began their set and it was like madness every where their were kids crowd surfing and singing so loud that I couldn�t believe it. And than they get to their last two songs and Marc from SPITALFIELD did guest vocals and than Jon from THE BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE came on stage and showed the crowd what he had. One of the roadies with FALL OUT BOY came on stage and played bass and Pete had this wicked scream that he did as he walked across the bandaster. And CJ from SPITALFIELD crowd surfed it was insane. One of the best performances I had ever seen. I mean during their set one of the guitar players and Pete were running up the wall with their guitars. They just went crazy and it seemed like they had as much fun as crowd. It was definitely something worth seeing.
So now we get to ACCEPTANCE which I mean who doesn�t love these guys. I swear that during their show it was like I was at a hardcore show. This band has no breakdowns at all Jason doesn�t even scream. But for some reason these kids that saw them at HELL FEST and fell in love with them so now at every show they hardcore pit. And the guys in the band love it. So there was this insane pit and Jason kept coming into the crowd and everyone was dancing even if you didn�t want to it was inevitable that you would. So it was this large amount of energy and everyone was having fun. And Christian and Ryan the guitarist and bass player were loving every minute of it. Ryan was singing into the crowd and everyone known to man was so excited. These guys did an amazing job. No matter how many times I see them they still are something worth talking about. The only thing I can compare this show to is a THROWDOWN show and if you�ve ever seen THROWDOWN than you�ll know what I mean. So ill end on this note that if you see this tour coming into town make sure to check it out its definitely something great.
