Andover-based youngsters Tonight We
Fall (7/10) were the first band to grace the
stage, and it is safe to say that they warmed the crowd up well.
Despite being ill, vocalist Sam Culverwell was able to impress the
crowd with his heavy vocals and energetic stage performance.
Although they are teenagers, Tonight We Fall are talented
musicians who seem to improve with every performance that they do.
Their confidence and ambition is almost infectious and it is clear
that they already have a strong fan-base in the Hampshire area.
Deference (8/10),
a Southampton-based metal band were next on the stage, and it is safe
to say that they opened with a bang. Rob Lea's heavy vocals were
incredible and merged well with the fast-paced guitar riffs. Once of
the easiest bands to compare them to would be Architects as their
musical style is very similar, which was demonstrated during their
more melodic songs. Despite not having any released material yet they
certainly knew how to entertain a crowd and left everyone wanting
more.
The final support act was Gone By Tomorrow (6/10), a five-piece metalcore band from Southampton. With similarities to bands such as Yashin, Asking Alexandria and With One Last Breath they definitely appealed more to the younger fans in the audience. Despite being energetic and entertaining their set was much more slower-paced and gentle compared to the heavier bands on the line-up, which made some of the crowd disengage with their performance. Their mixture of screaming vocals and harmonies worked well, however, there was definitely something missing from their set.

After recently releasing their EP
'//Redefine', local
metalcore heroes Our Hollow, Our Home (9/10)
returned to Southampton for their home show. With a crowd full of
family, fans and friends, it was easy to see how popular the
five-piece have become since their formation in 2013. Known locally
as energetic and hard-working musicians, it is exciting to see their
career progress further and their talent become recognised by record
labels and publications around the world. One of the most
well-received songs was 'If Those Were Guns, Reggie Be Dead',
which was played twice during their set: once as a band, and once as
an acoustic song for the encore. Every song that was played sounded
unique and fresh, and Connor Hallisey's harsh vocals were on top
form, merging well with Tobias Young's clean singing. Our Hollow,
Our Home engaged well with the crowd and they even brought an
inflatable boat with them (called 'H.M.S Heisenberg') for fans to
crowdsurf in. It is safe to say that Our Hollow, Our Home are
one of the best bands to come out of Southampton, and if you haven't
listened to them yet then you are definitely missing out.
