Things got loud for a big multi-band all ages gig at the Moose Hall, June 5.
I only caught Toronto metal band Loyalist.
They had a decent turnout, though a good portion of them were the other bands on the bill.
Loyalist had a big, brutal, punishing wall of sound courtesy of 21 high powered electrified strings including two eight string guitars, though one was switched out for a seven string and a five string bass backed by a huge drum sound a whole lot of howling.
The fans were getting into it, on a few starting a mosh pit with one audience member engaged in a free wheeling, arms swinging , ninja kicking, spastic dance of his own.
There was a lot of howling and an intense wall of sound.
