Great crowd last night at The Pour House for Onward, Soldiers’ release of their new CD Monsters.
It takes a certain amount of chutzpah for a band not from the Triangle to play their CD release show in Raleigh on a weeknight. But last night’s crowd was proof of how hard the Wilmington band has worked to cultivate a local audience.
And it was also a testament to how long they’ve been working on the record, because at least the front three or four rows of the crowd were not only dancing along, but singing along to the new songs.
The songs on Monsters are a great progression of their sound and the album’s been a long time in the making.
You could see it in the crowd last night, singing along to new songs they already knew the words to. But now, at the CD release, everyone could finally buy those songs on CD (everyone reading should too).
Hammer No More The Fingers & JKutchma opened and both were good to see, as always.
