There's something just timeless about this performance. It captured the same intensity and energy they had the first time I ever saw and heard them in 2004 when they were opening for Silverstein. You could tell this was one of the first times they got together and performed after breaking up where you can get a sense that the band still felt the spark they did in the beginning. Their music means more than ever now since the fans thought we'd lost them. The ever blossoming timbre of Dallas's voice, the energy that Chris and Wade bring to the stage, the frenetic chaos George contributes, and Jordan's locked in cadence... AOF are one of the bands whose blend of energy, riffs, poetry, and humility that have and will always resonate deeply with those of us that have always felt like we were the odd one out in the crowd. It's an incredible feeling having seen them return with new music, a new album and touring again. This past Wednesday was the first time I could take advantage of the opportunity to see them live in 18 years. A 2 hour set of the same energy they delivered at this performance in Reading and in that seedy dungeon of a hotel bar called Ace's Basement in Greensboro, NC all those years ago. Finding myself now on the wiser side of 40, I look back at all their music has meant throughout my 20s and 30s... They are one of the few bands I can say that truly enriched my life and helped tremendously to carry me through the darker times, so I extend my most sincere gratitude to Dallas, George, Wade, Chris, Jordan, and Jesse and want to thank you all for sharing the parts of yourselves that have made your music the treasure that it is.

You even have them to thank for the CD sounding how it does, the band plays the instruments but if it wasn’t for the vision of the audio engineers/producers, half these bands wouldn’t sound how they do. Sometimes the producers even help the band re-write songs etc. Yes the musicians are crazy talented, but the producers/audio engineers play a bigger part in the bands sound than you’d think.
