Tuesday, October 7th, 2025 was a gloomy, rain filled day in South Western Pennsylvania but when 6:30 pm came around, our friends in Major Moment brought the fire with one killer set. With their setlist including, but not limited to, “Toxic”, “Lunacy”, and “The Flood”, Major Moment had a great response from the crowd once they got warmed up. Their stage presence was nothing short of amazing. This was my third time seeing them perform this year and they get better every time.

After the show, I was able to check in with Major Moment to see how their first actual tour was treating them! They had such a blast and the other bands have been very welcoming to them. Major Moment is well deserving of all the love!

Next up was Ovtlier. This was my first time seeing them so I was excited to see their energy  and all I can say is wow! What an awesome group of guys that know how to get the crowd hyped up! I sat down with Joey and Cosmo before the show to get some insight on tour life, how they get prepared for their set, and more. They were great to chat to and both guys had some fun responses. 

Their setlist included “Dead Man Running”, “Buried Me Alive”, of course “Creature Of The Night”, “Warriors”,  and more. Once the guys got the crowd excited, it made the show so much more powerful. While talking with Joey and Cosmo, they said they would try their best to put on a great show and they definitely kept their word! Their performance was powerful!

Last but not least, Silent Theory ended the night with an incredible set! Songs including “Made Me This Way”, "Emptiness In You”, “Just My Luck”, and “Shaking Cages” are just a few of the tracks on the setlist. The song “Alice” was placed in the middle of the setlist and let me tell you, I got so many goosebumps. Dakota’s voice has just the right sound for this song and I’m so glad I was able to catch it live, as they don’t play it often! The crowd had great feedback towards the band and it was a night to remember for all.

All three bands were so kind and when talking with them, you could just tell they have so much love for what they do. Getting to support bands like these who appreciate their craft, but also appreciate the support they receive is so rewarding in more ways than one. 

If you ever get the chance, I highly suggest going to catch a show from all of these bands!
