Following the release of the much-acclaimed EP Who We Are in 2013, alternative rock group Flyleaf announced its intention to return with a full-length album in 2014. The sheer energy and haunting lyricism of the album echoed qualities of past Flyleaf tours, in which the band fused a unique melodic element with a hard rock feel. Flyleaf’s energetic presence on stage is contagious with guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya dancing as they strum. The release of Who We Are marked the first major achievements since the step-down of original lead vocalist Lacey Sturm. Immediately following Sturm's departure, new female vocalist Kristen May impressed with her stunning voice and obvious passion, qualities essential in assisting the entire band in the lead-up to its first Kristen May-focused album and associated tour.
Flyleaf began as Passerby, a collaboration between Lacey Sturm and James Culpepper. After joining forces with Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann, the group performed in concerts throughout Texas, eliciting the majority of their ticket purchases from Christian fans bored with the traditional religious music scene. Even with clear demographic trends and frequent allusions to faith in their lyrics, members of Flyleaf refer to themselves not as a Christian rock band, but as members of a rock band who happen to be Christians. Since christening itself Flyleaf in 2004, the band has experienced success in the mainstream music industry, most notably landing on Top 40 radio stations with the single "All Around Me." Subsequent successes have included the release of a second full-length album, Memento Mori, as well as headlining the 2010 Unite & Fight Tour. The band may see a future transition into a less faith-based approach, as Kristen May expressed a desire to take a different route in the 2014 tour.
Well I was unaware flyleaf got a new lead singer. Which made the show a little disappointing. Fit for rivals was by far my favorite band of the night. Most of the band's were heavy metal.. borderline screamo...Which is not my favorite genre.. I like to know what they're singing....But overall I enjoyed the show. State theatre is definitely one of my favorite locations for concerts
This was my second time seeing Flyleaf. They put on a great show every time and get the crowd involved and hyped up! I can't wait for the next show!
I have seen Adelitas Way before & was excited to see them again, along with Flyleaf. I have been listening to Flyleaf since they first came out & had yet to see them. I was aware Lacey left the band, but was disappointed in her replacement. Go to this show to see Framing Hanley & Adelitas.
This concert made my daughter's night. She enjoyed herseld. I drove her over 2 hours to see them. I figured I wouldn't like them, but they did a fantastic job.
Omg the concert was awsome the only thing that I didnt like is that the stage was very low. It shoulsve been higher so we couldve seen the bands on stage better but other than that it was awsome. Especially after the concert was done i got to meet all the bands and get autographs :-)
Everything was great.I loved the fact the bands stayed after for one on one and autographs with the fans.
Snocore in Portland Maine was an amazing show! All the bands really got the crowd into the music and, while having their own individual styles, meshed together really well. I was only familiar with flyleaf going into the show but ended up also buying stuff for Fit for rivals. They really impressed. Again, a great time and a must see for rock fans!
All four bands did a great job engaging their fans, which really made this event special. We were lucky enough to purchase a VIP experience with Flyleaf so we got to meet the band and see an acoustic performance. That performance was more laid back than what we saw on stage, but we got to see how amazing Kristen May really is. I loved to see Samir milling around in the crowd during the Framing Hanley set. We saw Kristen out watching Adelitas Way as well so they really support the other bands on tour with them. We didn't know anything about Framing Hanley before the show so they really blew us away. Amazing vocals from those guys. The best part was that members from all four bands were at the merch booths after the Flyleaf performance The only thing that was almost a problem was that there were some technical difficulties when they were setting up for Flyleaf. I was concerned that they weren't going to have time to play much since they could only play until midnight. Might want to start this an hour earlier with four bands.
I took my wife to see Flyleaf at snocore for her birthday. And all I have to say is all 4 bands are awesome. A must see event for sure. We really enjoyed how all the bands stayed After so everyone could meet them.
Just as good as 2 years ago!!!!! Kristen you are amazing. Love how you interact with The crowd. Missed hearing Sorrow. My favorite song Awesome show
