So when my band went on tour this past August, our first show was in a basement in Columbus, OH and was labeled as the “Cute and Scary Show”. The reason behind the name was because of the mix of “cute” and “scary” bands. While the hardcore bands completely slayed, the “cute” bands brought something a little different, and one of those bands was Hightide Hotel. They played with raw emotion and held nothing back, and this split shows much of that. We stayed at the same place as these guys, and let me tell you they were the absolute nicest guys. Look out for Hightide’s group vocals and By Surprise’s “I Miss You, etc.”, the musicianship is tight and the ending vocals are priceless.
