, reveals everything you need to know before you listen to this new, exhilarating, youth-representing duo.<\/span><\/p>\nSecond opener, L1ef, was just as exciting. Khalif Diouf presented his rap-styled art through a celebration of being yourself, including impressive dance moves that made the crowd scream for more. His 2018 EP, <\/span>Blue Dream<\/span><\/i>, shows off his avant-garde style the best, and he\u2019s even worked with Devonte Hynes on his 2015 album, <\/span>Riot Boi<\/span><\/i>, which includes some of the best tracks from his performance, like \u201cRage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nWhen the Shears twins finally took the stage for the main event, absolutely all hell broke loose in the most adoring way possible. The connection they shared with their fans was endearing and special to witness, with every song bringing another mosh pit of pure love. They played a wide array of tracks spanning from their new album, <\/span>Mirror Might Steal Your Charm<\/span><\/i>, and their cult classic record, <\/span>The Life and Times of a Paperclip<\/span><\/i>, including their essential defining track, \u201cVada Vada.\u201d The band, whose punk vibes come from their love for GG Allin and the Prodigy, somersaulted through their set in a fashionable, neurotic, and energetic way, much like their loving fans in the crowd, throwing each other with more of a hug than a violent push. <\/span><\/p>\nHowever, these boys are not their influences. If you weren\u2019t already a fan of the Garden, it would be easy to assume that much of their performance was spontaneous improvisation, which is a testament to how vastly different and electrifying their sound is in comparison to a lot of genre-confined punk bands of today.<\/span><\/p>\nThe highlights of their set were their popular tracks, \u201cU Want The Scoop?,\u201d as well as \u201cAll Smiles Over Here :)\u201d which attracted the best crowd participation and response. The pounding and ever-present bass licks and thrashing, soul-ripping drums were enough to wake even the sleepiest of spectators to join the pit and the love surrounding the \u201cVada Vada\u201d mindset that encapsulates one of the most arousing rock bands to grace the scene in a long time. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
By Brittany Moura Orange County natives the Garden, consisting of Wyatt and Fletcher Shears, twin part-time models, gave a surprisingly explosive performance at the Sinclair on Dec. 3.
