The Cavalry Is Us was the opening band of Patent Pending’s Holiday Tour at Revolution Bar & Music Hall on December 26. As the opening band, I can say that they definitely got the crowd all pumped up… After all, what’s a opening band if they can’t get the crowd pumped up for whatever else is to come.

At first, I wasn’t that keen on them because I didn’t really like the lead singer’s vocals*, but that was fine because they had great stage presence! I genuinely enjoyed watching them, especially their bass player, Robert McGrath. No, not that like… My first thought about him was hmm.. he looks kind of geeky. But then when he got to his screaming parts.. DAMN. I was shocked! He was great at the whole screaming thing. I definitely wouldn’t have expected that to come out of him because hey, looks can be deceiving.

After the first song, the drummer had some troubles with a part of the drums, and had to have it taken away but that didn’t stop him from rocking out. And in fact, I’d say they did a pretty darn good job. Overall, I enjoyed watching them and watching them reminds me of Warped Tour, which made me excited for the 2014 Warped Tour!
