Shows are so much more enjoyable when both the opening and main the acts are talented. New Politics just began their tour with Dreamers and The Wrecks, kicking off at the House of Blues in Cleveland on Friday. Each performance was full of energy and dancing.
The Wrecks opened with a lively set, getting the crowd warmed up for the night. The band released their first EP in 2014, which grew popular with many radio stations. The Wrecks performed songs off of their new EP, Panic Vertigo, which just released February 16th. Many excited fans already knew all of the words to their new songs. As soon as the first line of their hit song, “Favorite Liar” rang throughout the venue the crowd began to sing in unison, creating a lively start to the show. During their performance frontman, Nick Anderson, ran across the stage encouraging the audience to sing along and get them fired up for the other performances.
As soon as Dreamers stepped onto the stage, their energy radiated throughout the crowd. Dreamers are an American rock trio who have released one full album titled This Album Does not Exist in 2016. Their music brings a unique sound to rock, that is sure to get any crowd on their feet. As Dreamers began their energetic set, the audience began to sing along to all the songs they loved. Their album has been a hit with audiences for the past year, featured on “Alt Nation’s Top 18” multiple weeks in a row. The band has gained lots of audience recognition touring with The Mowgli’s and The Griswolds. Fans were thrilled to hear their favorite songs once again.
