Earlier tonight (being June 24th of course), The Strutt‘s main stage was graced with the presence of three great bands.

First up was Grand Rapids band Victor! Fix the Sun, and this show, oddly enough, was actually my first time seeing them. They definitely won me over. They remind me a bit of Bear vs. Shark, to an extent. Their set was very solid and very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing them again.

Next was the Reptilian, and well, I’m biased, as they are one of my favorite MI bands currently. Their set was spot on and the crowd seemed to love it. This show definitely had to have been a great tour kickoff, seeing as both the Reptilian and Victor! are leaving for a 4 week tour tomorrow.

Maps & Atlases Q: Need I say more? A: Yes. They sounded incredible and everyone was getting into it. There were over 100 people dancing in the crowd, tapping their feet, singing along, it was just a great time. The band seemed very grateful for the audience and the show. When they finished their last song, the crowd (myself included) kept clapping, and they came back on to play another three songs. Overall the show was incredible.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the bands, there will definitely be more to come soon.
