I was lucky enough to attend Beartooth’s show of
‘The Disease Tour’ in Berlin on March 5th at Huxley’s. The American
rock band brought support from Australia with The Amity Affliction and Higher
Power from the UK.
Next up were The Amity Affliction who I was really
excited about. I first saw them live on their ‘Misery’- Headliner- tour in 2018
and I absolutely fell in love with them. They just came out with their new
album called “Everyone Loves You…Once You Leave Them”. I know many people who
aren’t fans of ‘new’ Amity, but I personally absolutely love it. Their energy
on stage, the instrumentals, the vocals, everything mixes together so so well.
That might sound a little weird to some of you but I LOVE their intro called
“Coffin”, if I could listen to only that for the rest of my life, I would. They
mostly played new songs and songs from ‘Misery’. As well as some older fan
favourites like “Don’t Lean on Me” and “Pittsburgh”.
Later on Beartooth came on stage with a bang.
Literally. There was confetti EVERYWHERE! The first song they played was “The Lines”, which
brought me straight back to 2014/2015, when my Beartooth phase was at its
peak. I last saw them playing live as a headliner in May
2017, so the show has changed quite a bit since then. It’s crazy to see how huge
this band has gotten over the last couple years. They had a very good variety
of songs on their setlist. A little bit of every album, even from the very
first EP with the song “I Have a Problem”. Caleb Shomo has a great reputation in the
scene with good reason; he’s an entertainer, an awesome vocalist and a respected
producer. I can’t wait for what’s more to come for these guys.
I sadly missed the start of Higher Power's set due
to having a late shift at work, but I was still able to watch most of the show.
Higher Power are a pretty good mixed-genre band. I’m not sure if you can call
it melodic hardcore but they definitely have elements of it in their music, I
could also hear a bit of punk in their songs. Maybe a little out of place
compared to the rest of the line up, but at the same time I didn’t mind it and
they mixed it up a little bit in a good way.
