Sometimes shows are homogenous and play to a particular crowd. Wednesday was certainly an exception with a lineup that includes a hardcore circle-pit band, a melodic two piece, a neu-grunge set and a headliner that managed to combine elements of each.

Slingshot Dakota eased into the night with Cruel Hand inspiring endless circle pits throughout their set. Balance and Composure played next, a group heavily lauded by their colleagues in the field, and Title Fight finished the night, bringing all the pieces together in a cohesive set.
