After
releasing their third album Theory of the Deadman hit the road to support the new album. They swung past Cleveland
this past week on July 14th and played at the House of Blues. Scars and
Souvenirs hit stores earlier this year and they also had a song make it on the newest WWE album as well. The band has
hit its stride with the album and I don’t see them slowing down anytime soon, especially on the road. The show started
off great with a packed house supporting every movement that was made on stage. There weren’t 1 or 2 singers, but thousands
as almost every fan was singing along with the band. TOAD lead the way but gave many chances for the viewers to do the singing
solo. They played many tracks from the new album including recent single “Bad Girlfriend” and lead single “So
Happy” while mixing in old favorites like “Santa Monica,” “No Surprise” and “The Last
Song.” The had a couple of intros to songs that were hard to pick up, but a few and especially “Bad Girlfriend”
I picked up right away, which I think is better than you are getting pumped waiting for it to start. This wasn’t the
first time I have seen the band play, but it was since the latest album and they keep getting better and better. The stage
presents and energy increases every time I have seen them. You can tell that they have been working on those to maximize the
experience of seeing them and leave with everyone wanting more. They have defiantly have fun while they are on stage and that
is the key to putting on a great show; having fun, getting the crowd into it, crowd interaction, and energy. It was a great
show to see and I hope that come back very soon.
Rating: 8/10
Best Part: Crowd Presents/Energy
Worst: A couple tracks
need to be switched with new ones
