So i saw Times of Grace and War of Ages today. Not a bad show. War of Ages were killer performers and Times of Grace was fun. What I did NOT like was the first two acts. First band was a local Austin band that kinda just... sucked. Like, they weren't that good, but I wanted to like them, but couldn't. The 2nd band was just... generally all the bad things about American Heavy Metal. Some sort of strange combination of Metalcore and Nu-metal with lots and lots of breakdowns. Honestly, I'm not sure why the crowd liked them, I couldn't get into it at all.

Times of Grace had several fun songs, but IMO they are better on CD. Still, it was cool to see Adam D. up close (FYI he's a REALLY tall guy). I bought a T-shirt, and I'll be buying more albums for sure. Won't be going to a show unless they some better bands to tour with though, honestly.
