I PREVAIL IN CONCERT:
Post-hardcore punks I Prevail haven't let up since they first grabbed fans' attention with their incendiary cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" in 2014. The band sets itself apart from the pack with a unique mix of raw punk energy, catchy hooks, and electronic textures, and in concert it all gets turned up to 11 with mosh pit-inspiring standouts like "Crossroads", "Love, Lust, and Liars", and "The Enemy". Clean singer Brian Burkheiser carries the melodies on their calm segments before screamer Eric Vanlerberghe unleashes the beast on their savage breakdowns. It's a yin-yang approach that never fails to fire up crowds at their infectiously high-energy live shows. For their Strike the Match Tour in 2016, I Prevail is teaming up with The White Noise and My Enemies & I to bring their memorable choruses and hard-hitting tones to ticket buyers across North America.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Since they first came together in Southfield, MI in 2013, I Prevail has quickly gone from local favorite to viral sensation. The group – initially comprised of Brian Burkheiser (clean vocals), Eric Vanlerberghe (scream vocals), Steve Menonian (lead guitar), Jordan Berger (rhythm guitar), and Lee Runestad (drums) – immediately started recording demos following their first rehearsals. Things took off when they released their post-hardcore version of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space", which received over 20 million views on YouTube and was featured on the compilation Punk Goes Pop, Vol. 6. Their 2015 debut EP Heart Vs. Mind garnered more attention for the group, helping them land opening spots for artists like Crown the Empire, Hollywood Undead, and Pop Evil. I Prevail thrilled fans with the announcement of their headlining Strike the Match Tour in 2016, where they brought venues like the Tabernacle to capacity all across the U.S. and Canada.
It was great to see them live again. I also like that it was in a smaller venue.
I prevail has got to be the best new band right now! It was mad cool to see them on their first headliner show to their largest crowd to date. They sound just like their album, but better live! It was awesome and i already cant wait to see them again. You could tell the guys got emotional during the show and were even a little shocked at how many people showed up just to see them. That had to be a cool moment for them and it was definitely cool for me as a fan. Years from now when they are playing arena's and huge venues with worldwide tours i'll have known i saw em first in a little theater in Stroudsberg PA.
For the price of the ticket, this show was absolutely kick ass! I would definitely see them again!
This was the first concert I ever went to... an I have to say that I Prevail rocked the whole place that night. Would definitely go see them again...
Great show! Band was on point but venue could use a little help in the sound department. Vocals were hard to hear.
I prevail always puts on a great show. Chameleon club highly over sold this show I was unable to move at all couldn't turn around it was packed that tight.
The bands before I prevail were awesome but seeing I prevail was the best part!
First time seeing I Prevail live and was very impressed. Amazing show will definitely go see them again.
The music and energy at this show were phenomenal. The crowd of young knuckleheads who were more focused on getting the show on camera resulted in a pretty mild crowd though, and even more frustrating was that the staff were constantly shutting down any rowdiness "to ensure everyone's safety". If you want to be safe, take your phone away from the front of the stage and stand in the corner or the back. $10 for a beer seemed extreme, but admittedly I'm new to Dallas so this may be par for the course. All in all, worth seeing and I will definitely go again.
The White Noise stole the show with their energy and talent! The entire band is amazing and brought the stage to life! I especially love the drummer who plays with his heart and soul!!! The other bands were great too however I am partial to the White Noise as they rocked the House of Blues on Friday night! The House of Blues is my favorite music venue in Dallas. The sound and lighting is incredible and you feel a part of the music scene, especially in the Cambridge Room. I highly recommend any show that is on the stage there as they never disappoint.
The house now blues is very professional about everythIng except the concert security like during the show is hella rude. The concert itself was fantastic ! No kidding I've seen I prevail 3 times now 2 of which were right there in the Cambridge room and I have yet to be disappointed !
This is the first time I had a chance to see all of these bands live. I had listened to all of their EPs for a while, but this was the first chance I got to see them all, so it was pretty perfect. This is the first time I've seen a set of bands where each one did not have a full length album yet. Every band was really great live. Great audience participation as well. I was impressed with how well Bad Seed Rising did since they're very young. My Enemies & I have a really great vocalist who does the clean and unclean vocals. This was also The White Noise on their first ever tour! These bands are all going to be huge. Everyone was waiting for I Prevail by the end of the show and they really made everyone jump. The dual vocals worked very well and they were so prepared that they even played a brand new song to open the show. You don't see that very often. They were very happy to get a chance to share new music with everyone and it really showed.

Make sure to go out and support all of these bands when they come to your area!
This was my first concert ever and i enjoyed every minute. Id highly recommend going to see them live
I Prevail was awesome! The stage presence was great and their interaction with the crowd was fantastic! The opening bands were awesome and they did a great job of getting the crowd hype.
I Prevail was absolutely Amazing!!! I've seen them twice now and will definitely be seeing them in the future!!
Sick show, I Prevail has some excellent opening bands playing for them.
One of the best nights of my life! Can't wait to go again!
I Prevail, and all the other bands who played at the basement were incredible. I definitely enjoyed Chasing Safety the most out of all of them. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how long it was taking for each band to set up after the previous one had finished. Other than that the show was incredible and I left looking for another Chasing Safety concert to go to nearby. I Prevail had a great performance as well, I'm just a bigger Chasing Safety fan!
Had the best time ever Thursday night. Show was awesome and meeting the band's after the show for pics and autographs totally made my life!! Can't wait to see them all in concert again! !!
This was literally the best concert I have ever been to. Too Close To Touch and Chasing Safety (the opening acts) were beyond amazing and just added to the amazing energy that I Prevail brought. I would definitely say if you haven't been to an I Prevail concert you are missing out and it needs to be on your bucket list!
