Furnace Fest 2023 Tour • Page 18

I also like Trenches so it's triple unfortunate for me if I go.

 

It Dies Today vs Casey sucks too.

 

Better Lovers v. Plea is absolutely brutal.

Relient, Piebald, NJ, Anberlin, Hatebreed, and Braid overlap sucks too.

HTD v. AFS also isn’t ideal, but that’s an easy choice to make

 

What else is better lovers gonna play over a 45 min set when the ep is only 15 min? Do they have other unreleased stuff done already?

 

Gel vs Living Sacrifice vs High Vis is another triple I'm not sure about.

 

the Underoath tour, they played two new songs and Jesus Christ pose by Soundgarden

8:00-8:25 Norma Jean
8:25-9:20 Anberlin
9:45-10:55 MxPx

 

Still figuring out the other days but for Friday:

Friday:
1. 12:00 - 2:00 Get used to the festival grounds, figure out merch, try and find the vinyl codes if there are any I want, and then check out whatever band I feel draws me in. Any suggestions on any of those early bands?
2. The Undertaking!
3. Vein.fm
4. With Honor
5. Open Hand or Walls of Jericho (leaning Open Hand)
6. Throwdown
7. Hopesfall
8. Norma Jean
9. Braid
10. Probably dick around or go to bed early instead of MxPx

 

Slow Pulse is sort of a drone-y, heavy atmospheric female-fronted band. Really loved their last album.

As for figuring out the layout and such, you can get between all three stages within less than a minute. Merch is right in the middle under the bridge. It really is pretty compact and lovely.

 

Which bands are doing album playthrough this year? I just remember Braid.

 

Mae, FSF, Thursday are

 

Thanks. Now that I think of it I think Hopesfall is doing Satellite Years too.

 

Oh yeah. I knew I was missing one

 

Question, is the Plug Your Holes stage hard to get into ever, specifically the pit during the later bands?

 

Yes and no. If you’re there as the band prior to the one you want to see ends, there’s usually enough turnover and movement you can get in and get close. If the band you want to see is already playing, you may not even make it to the sound booth.

 

Okay, relistened to every band last night, and here's my schedule:

125-155 Orthodox
215-250 Alcoa
3-335 Vein.fm
445-525 Walls of Jericho
535-615 No Trigger (first half)
545-645 Throwdown
705-8 Relient K
740-825 Norma Jean (second half)
845-940 Hatebreed
955-11 Mxpx

1240-110 Mindforce
125-155 Zulu
210-245 Drain
3-335 Living Sacrifice
345-425 Sparta (maybe? Probably will eat and listen)
445-520 Militarie Gun
550-645 Saosin
650-730 Terror
705-8 Thursday (second half)
750-835 Youth of Today
845-935 Trash Talk
955-11 Turnstile

12-1225 The Callous Daoboys
1240-110 Inclination
125-155 Koyo
250-330 Defeater
350-430 It Dies Today
445-530 Better Lovers
540-620 Strife
550-645 Between the Buried & Me (second half)
705-8 Bouncing Souls
820-920 Pennywise (first half)
845-935 Armor for Sleep
940-11 Bane

 

If I were going:

Friday: Vein.FM, Kid Liberty/With Honor, Open Hand, No Trigger, 90 Pound Wuss, Piebald, Braid, and MxPx
Saturday: Mindforce, Zulu, Drain, High Vis, MSPaint, Militarie Gun, Scowl, Thursday, end of Will Haven, Head Automatica, Gorilla Biscuits, Turnstile
Sunday: The Callous Daoboys, Taking Meds, Silly Goose/Koyo, Defeater, the Insyderz, Better Lovers, Strife, first half of Further Seems Forever, the Bouncing Souls, Pennywise, Bane

TBH, this all just really makes me wish I was going. Haha. Minimal conflicts and a lot of bands I've been listening to a lot lately.

 

Vs trenches too. Absolute insanity

That 4 peat of as cities burn, further, Mae, and armor for sleep is fire though

 

Only had a couple conflicts I had to make tough choices on

 

It’s in the vinyl thread but the tooth and nail exclusives are

Showbread “Age of Reptiles”
Songs from the Penalty Box Vol. 1
Stavescare’s first album

Also heard rumors of FSF and Hopesfall represses and HTD Stephen years

 

Thanks. Unoriginal vinyl just posted a blurry image of the remaining 9 on facebook and the two I think I could make out (I may be wrong) are Hopesfall - Satellite Years and Haste the Day - Pressure the Hinges.

 

Top left is 100% Further Seems Forever - How to Start a Fire. Very center is 100% Pressure the Hinges - Haste the Day. Right center is 85% Haste the Day Attack of the Wolf King. Bottom left is like 80% Hopesfall - Satellite Years.

 

Some people are saying top middle is Chasing Victory and I can see that too.

 

HTD are locks. I have that from a super reliable source
