Live Show Review
As I went to bed on June 28th I got a message in my band chat for MOURN RECIF asking if we would hop on this Victoria show as a band needed to bow out. We were recording some songs that day, and decided to head out early so we could play this, thus leaving four of six songs unfinished. At first I didn't think we made the right call (cuz we left recording early), but by the end of the night I was smitten with the bands and show in general. Shout out Troy!
ALL THAT DECAYS
I actually missed this opening band as I came into the venue as they were finishing up, luckily local sweetheart Drue filmed part of their song so that's what I've used in the video below. Very promising emo-soaked screamo from Victoria.

COUP D'ETAT
What the fuck? I heard this band was good, so we checked out their soundcloud which was cool but I didn't hear any vocals. Seeing them live was a completely different story, as despite being a three-piece they go full beast-mode. All members contribute vocals and play a darker, emo-violence akin to Senza and A Paramount A Love Supreme, and I know they're recording a buncha songs soon that'll hopefully see the light of day well before the end of the year. Definitely check this out as they were the highlight of the show for me.

MOURN RECIF
This was definitely our best show. I think the bill helped push us to play more intensely and the crowd was generally more receptive to screamo. We'll be back in Victoria on August 24th on a ridiculous yet-to-be-released show, but play this Thursday July 18th in Vancouver, info at bottom.

BATHTUB AUTOPSY
I spoke with this duo after the show and it sounds like this was only their third show, but wowza were they sick. A brutal combination of death metal and grind repeatedly stabbed at the eardrums of all in the gymnasium's attendance.

CHOPPING BLOCK
This band came from the U.S. (Seattle, I believe) to kick some hardcore asses. They were super chill and put on a great live set.
