Belmont und Major League

For me, pop punk is the perfect fusion of two genres to create a sound that’s not too heavy, yet not too mainstream, and Major League have nailed their music with this combination of sounds perfectly. The show opened with the feedback ringing out through the monitor across the auditorium as the band ran on stage to the cheers of the audience. Before introducing themselves, the band launched straight into Need I Remind you, which immediately showcased all of their musical skills, from their guitar and drumming skills, to the beautiful harmonies that Brian Joyce and Matt Chila sang around each other.

They played a really good selection of their music from over the years, and even performed some short improvised sections within their tracks, so that we could hear some original material that wasn’t even recorded which was super exciting. They played through Hard Feelings almost in its entirety, and they were really good at encouraging everyone to sing along with them, and had us all crowding to the front to dance along with them. They were incredibly humble, and even stuck around for photos and autographs at the end of the show, which I thought was a lovely touch.
