Good Charlotte Brings Pop-Punk Nostalgia to Edmonton's Union Hall on Youth Authority Tour - April 12, 2016

Edmonton was given a hefty dose of pop-punk nostalgia on Wednesday night, as Good Charlotte threw down at Union Hall, bringing all of the twenty-something year olds in attendance back to the good old days, featuring acts Silverstein, Palaye Royal and Movements on their "Youth Authority" tour. The house was packed from floor to ceiling of folks both new and familiar to the likes of Good Charlotte's pop-punk take over; each smiling from ear to ear as both band and audience reminisced on the days of when Good Charlotte ruled the radio stations. Now introducing their new album "Youth Authority", Good Charlotte is storming stages once again, and doing a damn good job of it while reminding us all that they mean business, and that the energy of pop-punk is alive and well in the music world.

Kicking off my week with this killer was definitely a recipe made to have my spirits at an all time high for the remainder of the week. Fellow Canadian's of Despised Icon teamed up with San Diego's Carnifex on their current North American tour, and totally knocked their Edmonton date out of the park with a sold out crowd on Monday night. With the likes of Fallujah, Rings of Saturn and Lorna Shore in tow, there was no doubt in my mind that this line up was going to be a skull-crusher, and one of the heaviest shows of 2017.

With much delay, I've finally mustered up just enough motivation to plug out a gallery and write another one of my famous half-assed blogs, I've also had the time to collect a few thoughts on a show which hosted Epica, one of Europe's biggest power metal sensations, earlier this month. Accompanied by Italy's Fleshgod Apocalypse, Russia's Arkona and, fellow Canadian's in The Agonist, who all played key parts in filling up Edmonton's Ranch Roadhouse on Sunday November 13th with eager metal fans.
