Hailing from Bedford, England, Don Broco took the stage Thursday night at a sold-out Brighton Music Hall on the first stop of their North American tour \u2013 the band\u2019s first ever US headlining tour.\u00a0 That\u2019s right, Don Broco\u2019s North American debut headlining show was played in Allston. In past performances, the band has showcased an incredible, contagious energy; this show drew from that and multiplied it by one hundred. Very few bands have the power to transform a room into a whirlwind of excitement quite as efficiently as Rob Damiani, Tom Doyle, Matt Donnelly, and Si Delaney.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to vocalist Damiani, Boston set a very high bar for the remainder of the tour; based on previous visits to the city, he proclaimed that shows here are \u201calways the sickest.\u201d\u00a0 Hopefully they appreciated the reaction from the crowd throughout the whole show but especially during their new single \u201cAction,\u201d which made its live US debut. The single artwork of electric tune provided influence for the tapestry behind Matt Donnelly\u2019s drumkit: the words \u201cdon broco\u201d and action figure inspired images of the band members.\u00a0 (The wild new <\/span>video<\/span><\/a> for the single premiered last week and features some scene favorites, such as Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The opening bands \u2013 Selfish Things, The Home Team, and Sleep On It \u2013 prepared the crowd for the adventure ahead.\u00a0 Their punk, emo, and rock influences came together perfectly to create an intensely fun atmosphere. The Boston date fell on Sleep On It\u2019s guitarist Teddy Horansky\u2019s birthday, so naturally the band performed with party hats and glittery crowns.\u00a0 But that is not the only celebration in order \u2013 they released a new album, <\/span>Pride & Disaster<\/span><\/i>,<\/span><\/a> at midnight after the show!<\/span><\/p>\n

Always the greatest pleasure to experience a Don Broco concert \u2013 here\u2019s to an excellent first North American tour and to many, many more.<\/span><\/p>\n
