On Tuesday, the Strength In Number (SIN) tour featuring Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.), Hit The Lights, Like Moths To Flames, Sparks The Rescue, and My Arcadia took over the 9:30 Club. The night mixed pop punk with post-hardcore, and even threw in a little bit of electronic dub-step as D.R.U.G.S. made their headlining debut at the Club.
While the crowd may have been smaller than the last time lead singer, Craig Owens, and his band appeared here, the energy was not. With an hour long set, the intensity was felt from every beat to breakdown. The floor of the 9:30 Club was kept moving to a moshing dance as the tattooed lead singer, known for his theatrics, once again walked the barricade, and even at one point, walked the crowd. The set included most of the songs off of the band’s self titled LP such as “Sex Life” and “If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is.”
Owens closed the show with a pointed statement regarding music, “go to fucking shows. I don’t give a fuck if you download our music, or buy our music, as long as you are here and you feel it.”
