A band that was raved about pre-show by a few peers, my overall impression of BYOP was lukewarm. Watching them brought back memories of watching amateur hardcore shows at neighborhood pool houses in high school, the only difference was that BYOP brought less political ape shit and more hipster cool. The 19/20 year olds thrashed around onstage, wailing and smashing chords out of their instruments. I’d heard about the clever lyrics BYOP’s frontwoman fired off on albums but couldn’t understand the garbled tantrums bleeding over the druitarbassum mash coming from the amps. They certainly had energy though, maybe too much; the frontwoman ended up screaming and trembling herself into the early stages of heat exhaustion and puked on the stage. Not a bad band overall, but I’d trade some energy for a bit more musicianship.
