Thick As Blood at the Bringing It Back For The Kids Fest on 2011-05-13

Thick As Blood letting the crowd sing

Hardcore heavyweights Thick As Blood were one of the best acts on the first night of Bringing It Back For The Kids Fest 2011. They brought unrelenting ferocity and energy to the Royal Family Clothing stage, with kids cramming themselves as tightly around the stage as possible in order to sing, stage dive, and generally go crazy. The featured photo epitomizes the idea of the fest itself: rage, have fun, be a part of this scene. Thick As Blood always play a set that feels like a steamroller coming through, and this time did not disappoint, they were in their element and let loose and played without restrain. The crowd reacted in kind and followed suit by unleashing one of the bigger pits of the night, combined with huge stage pile-ups and some head-walking.

Seeing these guys is always exciting and seeing them at the Bringing It Back For the Kids Fest 2011 made it all the better. If there’s another fest in 2012, I hope these guys come back and slay.
