Against Me! @ Commodore Ballroom (Vancouver, BC) on October 25, 2016 [Photos & Show Review]
Punk-rockers Against Me! are on tour to promote their most recent release Shape Shift With Me and stopped by The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. One of the great things about an Against Me! show is not only how loud and in-your-face they play, but also how they fully encompass all things punk. Lead singer Laura Jane Grace is a known badass and activist, but her stage presence is also something… → Read More

Big Wreck @ Commodore Ballroom (Vancouver, BC) on January 27, 2017 [Photos & Show Review]
Alt-rockers Big Wreck came to shake the Commodore Ballroom a couple weeks ago and rock it they did!

I had assumed that with making such a risky choice the crowd might start to thin out and sombre. I… → Read More
