A very nice review from the Northeaster Performer. Thanks guys!

Northeaster Performer - October 2007
While all four bands sported different takes on alternative rock, the opener, Vital Might, seemed to have a dozen different takes on the genre. Their sound often straddled multiple genres within every song, which was refreshing and disorienting all at once. Metal, pop punk, emo, prog-rock — it was all there in a surprisingly cohesive concoction. The band was rock solid, and the Upstairs’ acoustics suited their sound well: chugging distorted chords, swirling bass melodies and colossal-sounding drums engulfed the room. Drummer Evan Kraker stole the show, though, with his Danny Carey-influenced approach to progressive metal drumming, including remarkable one-handed choked crashes and inventive ride patterns. Vocalist Andy Milk delivered an impassioned performance, and was sweating profusely from the beginning to the end of the show — always a good sign that a singer’s giving 110%.
