A packed house filled The Tabernacle on Monday night as Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything brought their co-headlining tour through Atlanta, with Chicago’s Sincere Engineer opening the evening. The crowd leaned heavily nostalgic, but the energy never felt stuck in the past. This was a room full of people who grew up with these songs and still cared enough to sing every word back.

The Funeral Portrait returned home to headline Heaven at The Masquerade for their Second Annual Suffocate City Town Hall Meeting, delivering a hometown performance that was equal parts celebration, validation, and victory lap. For longtime Atlanta concertgoers, this show represented more than a sold-out room. It was a reminder of how far a band can go when they grind, build a loyal community, and never lose sight of where they started.

Post hardcore legends, Chiodos, brought the Alls Well That Ends Well 20th anniversary tour to a close this past weekend in Anaheim, California. Bringing in a diverse lineup and immersive stage production, this night was one to remember.

Atlanta felt colder than usual on Tuesday night, but you would never know it once you stepped inside The Eastern to see Portugal. The Man on their current Denali Tour. The show was completely sold out, and the crowd filled the room early for a night that moved between laid-back grooves and big, room-shaking moments.

November 13th at The Masquerade felt like stepping into a world that only GWAR could create. The scumdogs of the universe brought their The Return Of Gor Gor Tour to town and it was nothing less than a spectical. The second the house lights dropped, the room turned into a warzone of color, gore effects, and heavy riffs. Atlanta crowds always show up ready to go hard, but this one felt extra charged. You could feel the energy climbing before the first spray even hit the air. G
