Saturday night at the Culture Room, sleeve tattoos were displayed, vocal cords were pushed to their limit, and a few tears were probably shed as Circa Survive frontman Anthony Green, backed by Good Old War, lead what amounted to a highly emotional, group sing-along.
Green poured his heart out from start to finish, and the audience followed suit. As he stood, drenched in sweat, chest tattoo glistening in the bright lights, droplets of moisture flinging from his effortlessly coifed hair, the faces in the crowd became flushed along with his as they shared vocal duties. And they did so with such spirit, conviction, and surprising ability that he often stepped back from the mic and let his friends carry the tune.
When on the mic, he continuously engaged and impressed, not holding back anything. The performance featured sternum-shattering moments such as "Moon Song," in which the frequency of the singer's high-throated rasp seemed to escalate to impossible levels, and also softer, but just as heartfelt, melodic, poppy numbers. The set list was well-arranged, allowing the show to flow through a range of moods without losing intensity for a moment.
