I've heard of Kylesa, havent had a chance to actually hear them yet, but I've been meaning to check them out.

I really like Baroness as well, but they played a good chunk of the Red Album at the show, and I dunno, I just wasnt half as impressed with them live as I am when I listen to the album, it could have just been a bad day for them, but they seemed kinda sloppy live and noticeably fell off tempo from each other at times, that was a big thing i just couldnt get past listening to the live set. And they didn't play anything from the other 2 EP's wich was kinda dissapointing. I have the first ep but not the second.

Brutal metal in a small venue! If this tour is coming anywhere near you and you're into metal GET A TICKET! All of these bands are great in thier own respects. Genghis Tron - A truly unique band that combines metal with electronic influences... They consist of a guitarist. A keyboard/sample player, and a vocalist who also programs the drum tracks. They add in the electronic sounds in a way that is not cheesey at all and Rating: 5

I've kinda only recently gotten into Converge, but I've managed to see them twice already. Last year opening for Mastodon and this time around as mentioned in the previous post. I haven't heard "You Fail Me", or "When Forever Comes Crashing" yet. Let me know how they are. I do have No Heroes, and I actually like that one a lot, Jane Doe I just the other day and I've been listening to it constantly. I think the next one I buy will probably be "Petitioning The Empty Sky" ...

Also everyone seems to say these guys are a hardcore band but I've listened to some other hardcore bands and none of them really have the intensity of Converge, and some hardcore fans have said they're not really hardcore but some die-hard Converge fans swear they are... All I know is whatever the hell they are considered they fuckin' rock.

I still haven't given Forever Comes Crashing a thorough listen yet, but You Fail Me has some great tracks on it. But yea, I'd say get PTES next.

I'm pretty bad with genres/band labeling, and I really don't know what Converge is. I just look at them as metal, but really I don't care.
