There could not have been a tour more aptly named for Counterparts than “Metalcore Dropouts.” Where most bands zig, Counterparts zags. Starting as a heavy band and then making your sound more accessible with clean vocals? Counterparts says, how about we get heavier. Hiring a social media manager to professionalize your band’s footprint online? Brendan (the vocalist) says, how about I court controversy by trolling. Where most bands from this era hardly sound like what they did to get big to begin with, Counterparts as stayed true to their audience, while continuing to grow and put out better and better work. Counterparts may not be the biggest band in the genre, but to quote a famous Counterparts fan: Mama if that’s moving up, then we’re dropping out.

Last night Jackie and I had the opportunity to see our CWA client at House of Blues on Easter Sunday. Once again, we were the only ones in the building that did not speak Portuguese. Very noticeable as everyone was singing along. Awesome show!
