Losing Daylight (A-F Records). Review by Jen Cray.

The Loved Ones had no idea they had so many fans in Orlando. Jen Cray was happy to find that she wasn’t the only adult in town who has a soft spot for melodic punk.

With a trio of Hot Water Music reunion shows coming up later in the month, the 3/4 of the band who moonlight as The Draft played an off-tour warmup gig in Orlando. Jen Cray was there.

I Am the Avalanche brought a slew of mediocrity on tour with them to Orlando. Jen Cray was there to witness the disaster.

One For the Good Guys (Black Numbers). Review by Jen Cray.

There’s something so pure about a bill of up-and-coming bands playing a tiny bar with no stage. Such was the locale of Broadway Calls’ Orlando stop. Jen Cray relished in the simplicity of a d.i.y. punk show.

New England is Sinking (I Scream). Review by Jen Cray.

NJ’s pre-emo/melodic hardcore cult favorites Lifetime may have pissed off a lot of fans by signing to Pete Wentz’s Decaydance label, but their show with The Draft still almost sold-out Orlando’s The Social. Amongst the crowd was newly christened fan Jen Cray.
