Despite this year’s sudden cancellation of Sound On Sound<\/a> Fest, many artists were able to be rescheduled at various venues around town to perform for the live music capitol audience. The festival continued on in spirit, early that Saturday afternoon. Fans lined up on both corners of The Mohawk, awaiting performances from their favorite punk bands: Drug Church, Turnstile, and headliner The Story So Far.<\/p>\n

Thirty minutes after the doors opened, Drug Church warmed up the crowd playing songs like \u201cBanco Popular,\u201d \u201cBut does it work?\u201dand their newest single \u201cWeed Pin\u201d. After finishing up their short, 30 minute set, the crowd continued to grow. As casual fans played it safe and settled along the railing of the upper levels of the venue, dedicated fans and avid moshers made their way down to the front of the stage. For a good 45 minutes, Turnstile performed songs like \u201cDrop\u201d and \u201cFazed Out\u201d inciting the crowd to throw down in the pit. Crowd surfers made their way to the stage hoping to be handed the mic from lead vocalist Brendan Yates (who occasionally tossed the mic out while he dancing around on stage). After their set, fans dispersed to grab a drink, buy some merch, or re-situate themselves for the final act. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Story So Far kicked off their set playing two of their most popular songs, \u201cThings I can\u2019t change\u201d and \u201cNerve\u201d while also performing their newest single \u201cOut of it.\u201d It was a wild set, as some fans surfed their way up to the front, attempting to get a hug from lead vocalist Parker Cannon. At one point during a break between songs, Cannon was handed a switchblade, causing some shock amongst the band. Parker put it away safely in front of the drum kit and continued on with the show. Throughout the remainder of the night, fans jammed out to a setlist of the band’s greatest hits from their past three albums while also squeezing in a couple covers from Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. Fans left with a fun, memorable performance to reflect on as they exited the venue to go home and recover from their ringing eardrums. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
