Shutter Live Review: Asking Alexandria
Friday the 13th saw the second stage of Asking Alexandria’s UK Tour as they hit the O2 Academy Newcastle, with Blessthefall.
Blessthefall pulled off a phenomenal set which including top selling hit ‘Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad’ and promised to be back in the UK soon. The band of Beau, Jared, Eric, Matt and Elliott were on their own UK Tour last October, but I don’t think they expected to be back so soon, and get the support they did.
Creating an electric atmosphere performing just before headliners Asking Alexandria, they could be forgiven for ordering the fans of Newcastle into a fierce motion of circle pits.
Then came Asking Alexandria, who are known as one of the craziest bands out there for their party style personalities. They created a party storm, in the form of lead singer Danny Wornsops vocal screams to get the crowd wild. The first album, ‘Stand Up and Scream’ saw the band release the song ‘The Final Episode’ definitely was the outstanding song on the first album, and as they began to play the song, the crowd went wild. To The Stage and Not The American Average also got the crowd crazy as multiple pits took place all around the standing area of the Academy.
The night also saw American outfit Chelsea Grin and British boys With One Last Breath take to the stage, and both were taken well and they each played an excellent set.
