The title says it all. It's like every band geek's dream. 2 days, bands performing throughout the day, plus free booze. Nothing can get any better than this. BRF was on it's third year this 2014 and it was my first time attending, with my friends of course. The first thing I was really excited about were the band merch. WHO CAN EVEN RESIST BAND MERCH?! The line wasn't that long when we got there fortunately. Seeing all those people with the same interest as yours was insane. I mean I thought I was the only one who fangirled over boys with overgrown fringes and excessive tattoos playing guitar riffs on Youtube. Turned out there were a lot of us, and it was really nice to feel the same vibe with your fellow teenagers, it's nice to know you're not alone. I'm not gonna lie the ticket price took me like three months to save up for, excluding the concert money. I was practically preparing for this day for almost half a year. The satisfaction I get with seeing bands perform live is priceless. The goosebumps, and the screams, and the pushing and sweating in the mosh pit? All freakin' worth it.
After the local acts, first to perform was Echosmith. One of my favorites. They aren't pop punk or alternative. They send of more of an indie chill kind of music. Which was nice because Sydney was gorgeous, and all of her siblings were adorable. It kind of suited their image. Another thing, Sydney's my age so they are really talented.
Next up was The Summer Set. I started listening to this band when I was still in junior high school. And after three years I finally get to see them live. The anxiety that you feel when you wait for a certain band to come to your country (especially when it's a third world country) is unbelievably depressing. No, with all honesty, I live for live performances like these.
We Are The In Crowd. I fucking love this band, and when I swear, I speak the truth. Tay Jardine is one of the people I look up to as an inspiration. Their whole set was insane and we were literally jumping and banging our heads off to their songs. It's kind of embarrassing that I know the lyrics to almost all of them, but still, I'm proud of it. Someday I want WATIC together with Tonight Alive and ATL, and man, that would be awesome as fuck.
Headlining BRFIII this year was You Me At Six. Dudes brought the house down. Everyone in the area was losing their shit singing and raising their middle fingers during 'Bite My Tongue' which was honestly the highlight of my night. That night was really unforgettable. Nothing can top that I guess.
