This was a hell of a night, Chiodos back together in Las Vegas for a Sold Out insane night with Holywatr killing it out there and Big Ass Truck I.E. blasting the place to get the night started.

Big Ass Truck I.E. is a new breakout hardcore band signed to Nuclear Blast Records, and they are LOUD. Self proclaimed to be "fueled by diesel and bad decisions" - a more truer tale was never told. Vocalist Abel Abarca led the melee of moshing fans from the stage, and the show was wide open from song one. The five piece band hails from San Bernadino, and is pounding out their mark in the hardcore scene.

Holywatr kept the momentum with "Lip Service" from their new album Red Heifer, their metalcore mixed with melody sound kept the moshers firing and the crowd singing along (and the girls screaming).

Founder and vocalist Holy holds the fans in his hand, and this band is making major waves in the nu metalcore scene, and more singles out now HERE.

Chiodos drew a sold out crowd for their redux All's Well That Ends Well Tour, and the roar when they took the stage was deafening. Chris Owens commanded the crowd from a center pedestal, and controlled the chaos as the band launched their set with "All Nereids Beware" before playing their debut All's Well in it's (almost) entirety.

Chiodos hasn't performed since around 2018, and this reunion of sorts was a long awaited revival of their emo/post-hardcore mid-2000s, and the fans were there for it. Owens is leading a revamped version of the band with new members, but the vibe was on, the show was insane, wall to wall fans screaming to every song, the Bowl was magnetic, Chiodos kept the energy and the fire alive until the encore - with anthemic "The Undertaker's Thirst for Revenge Is Unquenchable", "Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered", and a finale "Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek".
