Dave Hause was filled with high energy throughout the entire seven song set. He was jumping all around the stage, cursing about political views, while getting the audience riled up. He even dedicated a song called \u201cDirty Fucker\u201d to the president of the United States. The whole crowd was cheering as they repeated the chorus of \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re a dirty fucker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d over and over again. It was like watching a cult come together in hatred for our country. As the crowd became more and more riled up, surprisingly there was no mosh pit. Hause was sweating from head to toe, going so hard, it looked like he was going to have a heart attack. The band ended with a slow ballad dedicated to the people of Boston. You could see the admiration Hause had for his 24-year-old brother Tim who accompanied him on stage to play lead guitar. It seemed as if Tim had been playing for years, he was so talented. Everyone in their presence was in awe of their passionate performance. The band was extremely grateful to the Cambridge audience who came out for them as this show was almost the end to their 140 show tour in one year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As 20 full minutes flew by, everyone in the crowd was screaming for the arrival of Beach Slang. The stage was lit\u00a0with bright colors, as flowers and fairy lights were attached to the microphone stand. As Beach slang approached the stage, the crowd went wild as the vocalist started screaming indescribable sounds. The band brought the crowd of old dads, young goths, and hillbilly\u2019s rocking with excitement. Lead vocalist James Alex wore a 1950\u2019s tuxedo with complementary ruffles, bow tie, and long hair covering his eyes. He owned the stage as he jumped, stroked the guitar, and screamed his lungs off for each song. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As new listeners, we didn\u2019t know what to expect when Beach Slang came out. You never know what truly happens until they get onstage. It was shocking to see so many devoted fans for artists who may not be as well known. The rock community is growing as these creative souls pour their hearts out through their music. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tour came just in time to promote Beach Slang\u2019s EP <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here I Made This For You: Volume 1<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0which came out in 2016, in addition to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here I Made This For You: Volume 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2017). The band was able to showcase songs from both albums which had a heavy rock tone. They were able to explore new sounds while sticking to their classic punk persona. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information about the band\u2019s music and upcoming shows go to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beachslang.com\">beachslang.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Morgan King and Nicki Hymowitz<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday night, Nov. 30, Beach Slang an American punk rock band from Philadelphia hit the Sinclair stage\u2014hard.
