Their performance:
The Pros:
This band played a wide mix of music.

They were enthusiastic on stage.

The Cons:
They didn't do a whole lot to get the crowd involved in the music.

They could use some work vocally.

My Thoughts:
I was impressed with this band seeing as they're relatively new.  I thought they had a great stage presence and offered some great music and enthusiasm.  They really mixed up the music they played and seemed to truly enjoy themselves while they were on stage.  The only thing I felt that they were lacking on a bit was getting the crowd involved in their music and the vocals weren't all that impressive, but seeing as they're relatively new, that's more than excusable.

 

Rating:
My rating for this band on a scale of one to five, five being terrific, would be a four. 
They're slightly lacking when it comes to getting the crowd involved and could use a little work vocally, but they're a lot of fun to go see.
