On Sunday I witnessed an acoustic set by 3 amazing and very talented artist and I am still blown away by it. So with that being said let's get into it.
First up was Kulick, I had now idea to who he was even after the show I could not tell you who he was but I was so amazed by him and his talent that I could not let it go. When I got home and I was talking to my son about Kulick that's when my son and I googled and figured out who he was, needless to say he is now apart of my playlist and on our radar.
His stage presence, performance, setlist and passion for what he does is out of this world and I would not mind seeing him in concert again. His talent and everything I had mentioned at the beginning is the perfect mix for a hell of a show.
Second up was The Rocket Summer and oh my god!!! this dude does EVERYTHING during his set. He plays the keyboard, guitar and sings and there is a rap here and there. As this was happening I'm sitting there taking it all in and thinking WOW now that's skill. He can really demand a crowd by hitting 1 note and there is not a lot of artist that can do that.
His stage presence, setlist, love, passion and out of this world performance I can say that I am a new fan and will keep him on my radar because there is no way I am missing this guy when he comes back.
Last but NOT least we are at the main reason this acoustic tour even took place.
Sleeping With Sirens has been one of our favorite bands for a few years now and everytime we see them we are not disappointed. This is my 5th time seeing these guys in concert and this is the show that I have been waiting on to happen. The regular show vs an acoustic show is on different ends of the spectrum. You get the same amazing & talented guys but with the regular you get that experience with the full sound and with acoustic shows you get way more vocals and the vocal ranges and Kellin nails it everytime.
They know how to put on an amzing show everytime without missing a beat. They have their stage presence, a great set list, their love and passion for the music and it is a banger everytime BUT what really sets them aside from every other artist is they really know how to include the crowd and for that they will always have a label of amazing performers. I have seen that quailty in local bands but it is really hard to find that in national bands and SWS does it as if they are playing in their backyard for family and friends and that will always make them unique.
Thanks for
Reading!

Sleeping With Sirens: Gossip!
Who is excited about this new album from your boys in SWS? I know we are and that is why I decided to do the review on it. All thoughts and opinions are those of my own. When the album title was announced I was hooked and thinking this is going to be good.
Gossip- My take on Gossip is that SWS is trying to say "Hey you are going to hear a lot of things about us that is not true". Now days they media makes things bigger then what it really is rather it be an artist saying something or doing something.
Legends- My take on this song is SWS saying "Look you can say what you want about us but in the end we will still be here and continue to share our music with the world and hope that people will be able to just be them and what the world thinks they should be"
Empire To Ashes- I'm not going to play by your rules, this is who we are and you don't have to like it. You can try to bring us down but in the end we will still be here and being true to who we are.
Cheers- It does not matter how you chose to live your life, you are important in this world so raise your glass and cheer for what you have accomplished so far in your life.
Trouble- Feeling like they have seprated their selves from the people that believed in them the most and they don't know how to get back to that support system but they will not give up on trying.
One Man Army- This song is screaming the message about how Kellin feels! He may be the frontman/voice of SWS but in the end this band is made up of 5 guys(Kellin, Justin, Gabe, Nick, and Jack) and all of these guys make it work! The rest of the guys need to be credited as well.
Closer- My take on this one is them saying "We have been burned, brought down ect but hey we are STILL here"
Hole In My Heart- I take this one as SWS over coming depression because in all honesty everybody has had a bit of depression in their lives and it's nothing to be ashamed of because there is people that care and that's where the course comes in "It's okay, show them who you are. Everybody hurts, everybody's got scars, It's okay, standing in the dark. Shine a little light from the hole in my heart".
I Need To Know- Everyone goes through break ups, Right? it's apart of life so why not talk about it even though it may hurt but there is a reason for that break up to happen. God has a plan for us all and he will never give you more then you can handle.
The Chase- I believe is saying hey I'm not here for the media, I'm here for the our fans that believe in us and our music. a
War- Now it feels like they are getting a little insecure by saying "A war that can't be won" it's saying that society is the war and as long as we hide behind our fears then the bad in this world has won.
This album is the medias worst nightmare because it is telling them "Hey, we do not care what you say about us. We are going to continue to do what we love to do no matter what you throw our way and we will win."
When SWS decided to name the abum "Gossip" they really nailed it! They have addressed the issues in the world today and then some. Their sound is softer opposed to their previous sound and guess what? no matter how much their sound changes it is STILL amazing!!!!!! Great Job guys!!!!!
