Last Sunday, Everything
Ever and ROMP played their last show on their tour at Amityville Music Hall. They
had local support from Casanova, Binary Heart, and Broken Bay Coalition. This
was my first time seeing most of the bands that were playing that
night. There was not a big draw of people but there was an older crowd there. I
felt if this show was in Brooklyn there would have been more people, and maybe people
under twenty one.
The
opening band of the night was Broken Bay Coalition. Broken Bay Coalition is a
local band from Long Island. They started to play and from the first song I liked them. They had a mix of Jawbreaker and other 90’s influenced bands. I enjoyed
their sound, plus I really love their bass. The bassist made sure you could hear
and I really like it when bassists makes themselves heard. I love the fact that they
had three singers; that brought some unique aspects to this band. Overall, Broken Bay Coalition was a solid opener and I’m glad I got a chance to check
them out.
Up
next was Binary Heart. This band is another local Long Island band. Before this
show I checked them out and saw Jeff Rosenstock produce their music, which I thought
was great, because everything Jeff Rosenstock does is great. Binary Heart was
very good and they played a great set. Overall Binary Heart was great and I would like to see
this band again. The only problem was not a lot of people were checking this
band out; this band should have more fans.
The
final local band from Long Island was Casanova. This was my seventh time seeing
this band. Casanova is four piece band with female lead singer. They have a very
90’s influenced sound and each song has a different influence. They mix the
sounds of Weezer, Turnover, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies, and The Breeders. They
have a very unique sound. From seeing them play their first show, they have progressed a lot and they look really comfortable playing on stage. Overall, Casanova
is a really good local band. Check them out if you get a chance.
ROMP
took the stage and they rocked the stage. ROMP is a four piece from New Brunswick,
New Jersey. They have a female lead singer who played the keyboards and totally played
a great set. I felt they mixed some nerdy aspects with Riot GRRL and it rock perfectly
for them. The first set part of the set was a little slow but the second part
of the set was very upbeat. I really enjoyed the way they play and I would see
this band again. I just wish there was more people checking this band out. Like
I mentioned before, I feel that if this show was in Brooklyn there would have been a
better reaction and more people enjoying ROMP.
The
last band of the night was Everything Ever. Everything Ever was another band
that really rocked the stage and had a lot of fun doing so. Everything Ever is a punk band from Staten Island.
Every song was great. It sucks that there wasn't a lot of people who stayed to watch them play. Otherwise, Everything Ever was very good and probably my favorite band of the night. I recommend
everyone reading this to check out all of these bands and support them.
