United Blood Festival
Day: 1

The first year of United Blood was probably one of my favorite things that had happened in forever, so when they announced that a second year was going to happen, i got really excited. We drove down Thursday night and came back Sunday morning. The events that happened are the best. Here is a day one in recap from band to band.

Cold World

Blacklisted

Murder Weapon

The Mongoloids

War Hungry

Trash Talk

Pulling Teeth

Reign Supreme

Trapped Under Ice

LetxDown

Here is one of my favorite bands and I’m having the chance to see the record release for their 2nd full lenght. What a perfect day It was. I was able ot spend it with my friends and able to have a lot of fun. I don’t celebrate Easter, so that was out of the question. This was also The Mongoloids first time at the church which was a really cool thing.

Memorable night

Blacklisted

Cold World

Shipwreck

Let Down

Soul Control

The Mongoloids

In this style of hardcore this show has been the biggest turn out in a few months, which is a really cool thing. There’s a lot of kids in Jersey going to shows right now and doing everything to get things back here. Respect to all those kids.

Crime In Stereo

Shipwreck

Pellinore

On my way to magical land I ended up at this show

Since The Flood

I was invited down to WSOU to take photos of the JJ/Rick Lopes interview. The interview consisted of cro mags, superbowl of hardcore, vegan food, his book and much more.

Thank you to Rich and Steph!

I always have fun taking photos of my friends and they are usually down for it. Here’s about 33 photos of them from the Perth Amboy show. If you want a photo, come up to me!

“Taste Of Chaos Tour”

You always remember the first big thing in anything that you enjoy doing. So, as you can see, this was the biggest thing I have done yet. I can now seriously imagine what it must be like doing all these type of concerts every night. 4,000 kids screaming and all this smoke. What a perfect time I had.

It was so weird going back to Convential Hall after going there for Skate And Surf. That place obviously holds a lot of memories, so that made It even better.

Big thank you to Karen and Define The Meaning for always supporting me.

Avenged Sevenfold

Atreyu

Bullet For My Valentine

Bless The Fall

Right after leaving my house I found out the show had been moved from Copa to this new basement in Perth Amboy. It turns out that the house is basically abandoned and we’re all just there haha. Everyone made it out and It was a great nice. I’m going to say more than 60 kids showed up, so that’s pretty good for here.

I also recieved my chord for my flash an hour before this show, so you can see the results of that in this post.
