After covering The Bright Light Social Hour for nearly a decade, since their debut album The Bright Light Social Hour dropped, I can honestly say I couldn’t be more excited for the group. If you clicked the link, you saw tens of thousands of plays their debut has on Soundcloud which isn’t even the most popular streaming platform they’re found on. The band was hot. You couldn’t turn on KUT (KUTX didn’t exist yet) without hearing one of the band’s singles.

It may not have been a sold-out crowd but Emo’s fans were enthusiastic in their response to the UK neo-metal act, The Darkness and opener, Diarrhea Planet last week. It was hard not to match the energy of DP’s opening set. The Nashville-based garage punks look like they’re having a better time than the drunk fans in the front row as they rocked their way through a brief half-hour set.
