At the end of January, I had the pleasure of taking my three cousins to a concert at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie NY. They were going for A Day to Remember, I was going for Rise Against. The concert was split between fans just like us for the two major acts. The opening act, The Menzingers, were a pleasant surprise for me. I know listen to them quite often because of that show. A Day To Remember have die hard fans. These kids went nuts from the minute the lights went down till the last balloon hit the floor. A guilty pleasure of mine, they are a band you should check out live at least once-the boys from Florida can put on a show. Rise Against has always been one of my favorite bands. They have a style that has grown with their fan base. Their show that night is one that made me remember why I started going to concerts and listening to music like this in the first place. Its hard to make me stop being in "work" mode and be a fan, and Rise Against did that night.
