A Skylit Drive und Vampires Everywhere!

Post-hardcore in its current format - that is, the style that verges on metalcore, with melodic vocals weaved in alongside demonic ones - is actually a relatively new concept, and few bands embody it quite as well as A Skylit Drive. They’ll celebrate ten years together as a band next year, but have already both achieved a lot - with four well-received albums dropped and a cult fanbase certainly secure - and been through quite a bit, too, with multiple lineup changes already; Joey Wilson and Jordan Blake are now pursuing another project, whilst frontman Michael Jagmin was actually replaced by Blake for a short time, before the latter was beset by problems with ulcers that forced him to lay down the mic. Going stronger than ever after the release of LP number four, Rise, in September of last year, A Skylit Drive’s recent live shows have been as incendiary as ever; YouTube footage from their Unconditional tour shows huge mosh pits breaking out pretty much customarily, as Jagmin’s cooed vocals are backed up by death growls from Cory La Quay and crushingly heavy instrumentation as standard. They’ve yet to make it over to the UK since Rise dropped, so expect dates soon, and get your earplugs ready in the meantime.

Vampires Everywhere was awesome.Last time I saw Michael he was in another band called Dead Girls Academy.This was my first time seeing Vampires Everywhere.I been buying their albums from the beginning.I think this was his first time headlining a tour.

The band members have changed from the beginning.Craig is from Dead Girls Academy too.Michael is an interesting performer.He had make-up on his eyes.He makes some funny faces while performing.He got down on his knees a lot too but,I liked it.

There were 2 songs I didn't know off his new EP.He had a stripper on stage with him on his 1st song.I love Michael's music no matter what band.I will always go see him.
