Observations

Awhile back when hanging out with some friends we decided to go see a metal band at Revolutions in Neenah, WI. I, never really liking metal music found “Bound for Severance” to be an incredibly awesome local group that I had never heard before.

When they first took the stage and played a few notes I was thinking, wow that is REALLY LOUD! After a few more notes and mic check, the sound guy was like, “how we doing?” the band replied, “much louder on everything” …ho-ly $hit. If you’re anywhere near the speakers you will physically feel the music vibrating your chest cavity. No lie. Since the speakers sit on the floor there, the whole bar was shaking. I literally had to lean in and scream at the top of my lungs into the bartenders ear to place my drink order. It was incredibility fun, at one point I step out of the building to make a call and I could clearly hear the band inside!

I was really impressed and had a great time, and would highly recommend going and seeing this group if your looking for something fun to do, even if your not a fan of this genre of music. They are a cross between rock and metal. So it’s NOT just screaming, or death metal, there is singing as well.

I will to make an effort to drive back and see this band again this year. Dates and locations are posted on their site. You can listen to some of their music on their MySpace page.
