On March 13th
I had the pleasure of attending The Word Alive’s NC show during their Dark
Matter Tour.
Alongside The Word
Alive were: HerEcho, A Boy Named Sue, Out Came the Wolves, and Fit For a King.
One of my favorite things about these shows is how headlining bands will reach
out to local talent to come out and be a part of the show. I’ve discovered so
many amazing local bands through shows like this.
The show itself was
incredible. Seeing The Word Alive perform old favorites like Life Cycles is an
experience in itself, the crowd thrashing around and screaming the lyrics back
at the band and feeding off of one another’s energy is amazing. The real treat
was getting to experience the songs off TWA’s newest album Dark Matter days
before it released.
Dark Matter is out
now on iTunes and in stores. The album is bigger and bolder than those that
came before it. TWA did an amazing job at re-vamping their sound to create
something that was unique and different, but still had the charm that fans
already knew and loved. Matt Good (of From First to Last) produced the album
which is one of my favorite aspects of the album as someone who has loved Matt’s
work for years. There’s something on album for everyone, from the heavy hitters
to the soft spoken tracks.
A personal favorite
of mine from the album is Grunge- this is one of the songs I got to preview
during their show.
For those that missed
out on The Word Alive during their Dark Matter tour, you’ll get the chance to
see them all summer during the Vans Warped Tour! In the meantime, treat
yourself to Dark Matter on iTunes.
Here’s a few shots

Oh you know, just casually hanging with Tyler Smith *hair flip*
