Silverstein ended their set with “The Afterglow”, which had the entire crowd, including myself, singing loudly. Photo by Sean Derrick/Thyrd Eye Photography. Silverstein performing at Pops Nightclub near Saint Louis, Thursday. He also switched some of the lyrics to say “Sauget” when mentioning another city, which the crowd loved. He really got the crowd going when he said Congrats to the Blues on winning the Stanley Cup and “Fuck the Bruins”. Silverstein played a brand-new song called “Burn It Down” that had just come out a week prior to this show, which I loved and can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. The entire crowd seemed to be singing along and bobbing their head. When playing the older ones, it brought a lot of high school nostalgia for myself and most people in the crowd. Silverstein played a mixture of older and newer songs. ![]() They always sound SO GOOD live (as if you were listening to their songs right off the CD), so I knew they were going to put on an awesome show. I have been a fan of Silverstein since I was in high school, so I was extremely excited to see them again (the first time was at Warped Tour a few years ago). Silent Planet interacted well with the crowd by thanking them multiple times for coming to watch them, starting mosh pits, and jumping into the crowd during the last song. It basically just sounded like he was talking and didn’t resonate well live. The lead vocalist, Garrett Russell had strong screams, but I was not the biggest fan of his clean singing. ![]() The bassist, Thomas Freckleton, had crisp clean vocals, and sang loud to make sure the crowd could hear him.

When Silent Planet played “Panic Room” about a friend of theirs with PTSD from serving in Afghanistan, you could tell they were performing with every emotion they had. The band grew up with Silverstein and asked the crowd multiple times if they were excited to see them play. Silent Planet was the first band to perform. ABR celebrated their 10-year anniversary of the album Constellations by playing it in its’ entirety. On Wednesday July 3rd, metalcore band August Burns Red started Fourth of July with a bang by making a stop at Pop’s for their “10 Years of Constellations Tour” with Silverstein and Silent Planet. –Photos by Sean Derrick/Thyrd Eye Photography
