Lowcountry Rock and Roll and Rebellion
by Sick Boy on 5/5/24Firefly Distillery - North CharlestonThis was the best show I’ve seen in years. All three bands were fantastic, with the surprise of the day being Love Crimes. This is Mike Ness’s son’s band. They were fantastic!!!! I would go see them again anytime. They even hung out at their merch booth to meet people after the show. I got all of their autographs. Social D gave their usual 120% on stage and it was as good as I have ever seen them. In some ways even better. Mike just survived a bout with cancer and that changes a person. He spoke a few times during the show and the things he said were heartfelt and sincere. He even brought his son Julian on stage for the first ever performance of a brand new song. They played several fan favorites and some newer songs, all of which are just great. They ended the show with Ring of Fire!!!!!!!! Just amazing!!!! Bad Religion……… Man I gotta tell you that watching a band perform at that level 42 years in is a thing to behold. They sound just like they always have. Simply incredible. Those guitars and amplifiers just blow my mind. They put on a clinic for how a really professional band should sound. They were airtight on tempo, musically perfect, and still raw. I don’t know how they do it!!!!! I hope this exact combo tours together again . I would see that every year.
