MakeWar, Good Friend, and Tightwire kicked off November at Reggie’s Music Joint. The bands, which represent three different continents, united for a fun global punk rock humpday.
MakeWar, off of Fat Wreck Chords, is led by Jose Prieto, a fellow Venezuelan to this piece’s photographer AndresAlejandro Chaves (both are now North America based). Edwin Santacruz hails from Colombia, while Greg Taylor came to the band from Florida. Together, they have created a powerful skatepunk group whose forceful set left the crowd exhausted in the very best way.
Good Friend originated out of Northern Ireland and found a home on Red Scare Industries. Its lively set in the middle of the bill was the perfect bridge from South America to North America. Lead singer Adam Carroll aka Mad Adam may also be familiar to DS readers via helping us celebrate the World Cup last year.
Tightwire, another outfit from Red Scare Industries, is a band familiar with Chicago and has many friends in the Windy City. A whole bunch of said friends appeared stage front for a boisterous set. I include myself in that category. But whether it is in their hometown, my adopted city, or where you dear readers reside, I encourage you to check this group out as soon as possible.
Please check out more of AndresAlejandro Chavez’s images from this show. Thanks and Cheers!
