Warped Tour 09 - Orlando Continued

WARPED TOUR 7/24 IN ORLANDO, FL CONTINUED.

Alright, here's my point of view from Warped Tour. I put up some videos for you guys to judge the bands yourself, too. But I must apologize, the actual video isn't great. I had to record the bands in the middle of crowds that liked pushing and jumping. I hope you enjoy them anyway. :)

You Me And Everyone We Know
Rating: 5/5

You Me And Everyone We Know was absolutely amazing. Ben, the lead singer, was really into what he was singing and that made the rest of the band perform perfectly. I am a fan of this band and I have to say that they sounded better than their EPs. The only played two songs from their old EP, Party for the Grown and Sexy and the rest were obviously played from their most recent EP, So Young, So Insane. Although the audience wasn't nearly as big as Chiodos or ADTR, they sang along to every lyric of every song loud enough to sound like a huge crowd. They all seemed to enjoy it as much as the band members did. Overall, they were the best band I saw. I do wish they played longer, but they're not that popular compared to Escape the Fate or other bands at Warped Tour.

All Time Low
Rating: 4/5

I'm not a huge fan of All Time Low, but I do know most of their songs. They opened with Weightless and I tell you, every single person in the huge crowd sang along. Playing at the Van's stage, they echoed throughout the entire field. There was crowd surfing and even a little moshing. Odd, I know, but the fans of All Time Low loved the songs they choose to play. Now, the actual sound of All Time Low was alright. Not the best, but not the worst. At times, it was practically impossible to hear what the lead singer, Alex, was actually saying. But that probably had to to with the actual mic, not Alex. The energy the whole band had brought out the best in them and made up for the bad vocals. I'd have to say that they were my third favorite.

There For Tomorrow
Rating: 3/5

I actually only know one song from There For Tomorrow, but the sound of them was pretty good. The whole band wasn't very up beat and into their own music, which was probably the only down side. Their songs, though. They're pretty catchy and some people in their smallish crowd seemed to know the words, but I suspected most of the people were waiting for Forever The Sickest Kids, who was playing at the same stage, Smartpunk, in about an hour. I will say that I put the rest of their songs on my ipod once I got home, though.

Lights
4/5

In between There For Tomorrow and Forever The Sickest Kids, Lights played on the stage next to Smartpunk, Hurley.com Stage. At first my friends and I were confused as to who she was. I thought it was the Millionares, but there are three girls, not one. We finally figured out it was Lights. The singer, Valerie, was reallllyyy into her songs as she was jamming away on her neon pink keyboard and her audience loved her for it. Everyone knew the words and jumped along with her. I certainly haven't listened to her before, but her voice seems to be completely different from Hayley William's (Paramore), or Emily Haines (Metric). Lights' set was great and I actually liked her so much so that I threw her on my ipod when I got home as well.

Forever The Sickest Kids
Rating: 3.8/5

I love FTSK and I love their songs. Now, being the fan that I am, I can tell you some of the vocals were off. It was almost if the mic wasn't even on or the guitar wasn't tuned correctly. I could tell that they did miss some notes. But the lead singer Jonathan, as well as the rest of the band certainly made up for it when their excitement and their love for their fans. They played songs from their album, Underdog Alma Matter, but they also played a song or two from their recent release, Underdog Alma Mater Deluxe Edition, which consists of 29 songs. There was lots of jumping and pushing and even crowd surfing. It was an overall great set, except for the sound.

Cash Cash
Rating: 4/5

I had never heard of Cash Cash before, but they combined a synthesizer with drums and guitars. There was even a keyboard. Their sound was pretty good and the band members seemed very animated. Since I don't know much about them, I can't tell you very much. But I did get some great pictures of them and a video. The sound was good, not the best, but still good. And the crowd was a decent size. If you like techno or alternative or both combine, I suggest this band.

Streetlight Manifesto
Rating: 5/5

While Cash Cash was taking down their set, Streetlight Manifesto begun playing on the Hurley.com Stage. I'm not much of a fan of Streetlight Manifesto, or ska in general, but they were fantastic. They had back up singers in matching dresses, as well as trumpet, saxophone and guitar players. The whole band has a very unique combination of voices and the actual sound of Streetlight Manifesto was so great. The whole band was into every song and they even asked their audience what songs they wanted to hear. The huge crowd was loving every minute of it. I actually enjoyed it and I certainly downloaded them when I got home. Now, I'm in love.

Valencia
Rating: 3/5

I am a huge Valencia fan. I know them backwards and frontwards. And let me tell you, the mic was definitely off more than once. I could barely hear Shane's voice (the lead singer) and the whole band was not into their own music as much as I think they could've been. The audience was fairly big and they were all singing along. They played a lot of songs from their most recent album, We All Need A Reason To Believe, but they also played some songs from their old album, This Could Be A Possibility. I do wish they had actually enjoyed what they were playing, although they announced that they had just arrived and stayed up all night on a flight to Orlando. And I guess the heat wasn't helping either. They have fantastic lyrics and Shane has a great voice, but it was just not the best time to see them live.

3Oh!3
Rating: 4/5

I don't listen to them, at all, except for the Don't Trust Me song everyone seems to know. But the crowd for 3Oh!3 was the biggest I'd seen all day. I really can't tell you much mainly because I don't know them nor did I stay very long, but everyone else seemed to like them.

A Day To Remember
Rating: 5/5

Alright, I know a review has already been written about them, but I just have to add that they were amazing and the crowd was so much fun to be pushed into.
