Nothing More’s EPIC return to the Wellmont Theater!

“Embarking on the second leg of their Carnal Nature Tour in support of their latest album, ‘CARNAL’ (2024), Nothing More filled the New Jersey venue with a sea of black clothing and an audience excited to hear some intense songs, sweat it out to screaming…

“Coming back four years after seeing them for the first time at the same venue in 2022, I am appreciative that Nothing More treats New Jersey so well. With a memorable performance from years ago, there was no way I was going to miss this show…

“Would I come back for a potential Nothing More 2030 performance in Montclair? Once I wrap my head around such an absurd number, the answer would be yes!”

Throwback to the incredible performance by in December in New York City! 🎶

“NYC-based band Double Standard opened the night, setting the tone for an evening of incredible indie vibes and powerful female vocalists taking the stage.

“Everything from their confident presence, comfort in front of an audience, and overall style had me hooked from the first note of their opening song, ‘nvr c u again,’ through ‘Crush.’ […]

“Double Standard’s set provided the perfect introduction of the band to a largely new audience, and had me sharing their music with friends before they even left the stage.”

Cold, cold, cold, cold inside, doctor, can you help me? ‘Cause something don’t feel right 🎶

More photos from Cage The Elephant’s incredible performance in Port Chester in October!

“The most important takeaway: Cage The Elephant is the real deal. From the starting note to the final encore, the boys from Kentucky performed an outstanding, dynamic set, ranging from their earlier songs to their latest singles and everything in between. Their energy radiated from the stage to the back of the venue, with newer fans, seasoned fans, and boyfriends dragged to the show alike, enjoying the songs Cage brought to the Capitol Theatre.”

Photos from the incredible Atlanta indie-duo in New York on tour with Cage The Elephant! 🎶

“The charismatic best friend duo was nothing short of a breath of fresh air, bringing innovative emo-meets-folk tunes to the stage and true personality to a brand-new audience. I felt like being let into a fun friend group through their witty banter, and it was easy to tell how all the members were comfortable sharing the space. 

“The band showcased their personalities through and through, moving around on stage with smiles and hilariously introducing their next songs. One of my favorite intros for their song ‘Waiting Room,’ where Harlow shared that the track is about ‘the time they took away Tyler’s appendix because he’s too damn sexy.’ (To which the crowd promptly gave them a ‘woo!’).”

I want the taste of metal in my mouth…

Words can hardly begin to describe how incredible this night was. grandson was the first concert I had the pleasure of photographing in 2022, and his music has stuck by my side through my professional (and personal) journey.

If one thing is true, it’s that grandson simply never misses… From his earliest songs to his latest anthems, this night was full of activism-meets-music energy, paired with a crowd fueled by passion, pain, rage, and hopefulness— a united front that one may never find outside those four walls.

And hearing ‘INERTIA’ live and in its entirety was the honor of a lifetime— What a badass album!

Now I did say words can hardly describe this night… I lied a little bit, because you can now read my full review on The Camera Affect! ✍️📸

“While this tour has several different openers throughout its four-month run, NJ was lucky enough to be blessed with the rock throwbacks from Kentucky, Girl Tones!

“Sister-duo Kenzie and Laila served as an incredible opener to the night. My introduction to them was their angst-ridden single ‘Blame,’ which served as SiriusXM’s Alt Nation ‘Impact Track’ this summer. Excited to see them for months, the pair certainly did NOT disappoint!” 🍒

“This performance was Silversun Pickups’ fifth show at The Wellmont Theater, last performing in September 2024 in support of their sixth studio album, ‘Physical Thrills’ (2022). Though they haven’t released a new project since, the Los Angeles group is still killing it on tour, and playing fan favorites from throughout their impressive 25-year discography.” ⭐️
