I've seen them twice. Seattle N1 & N2 2024. I honestly just really got into the band with Dark Matter.
That's interesting. What was it that clicked? How familiar with them were you before?
I've always listened to more underground/punk kind of stuff. I had really only ever heard the singles from the first two albums. When the Dark Matter single dropped I saw it in my feed and gave it a shot. I found myself getting the riff stuck in my head. What really made things click for me was running. When I hear that song, I hear Bad Religion. I love Bad Religion. So when Easy Street announced they were doing an album listening party, my girlfriend (who was already a fan) and I decided to go check it out. Half way through the album I went up to the counter and preordered the record. I thought it was that good. So then when the shows were announced my girlfriend wanted to go, and I managed to get tickets. I decided that if I was gonna spend that much to go to a show, I had better familiarize myself with the songs. So whenever I would go to the gym I would listen to a new PJ album. I also found myself listening to a bunch of PJ radio on Sirius XM to familiarize myself further with the catalog and see what they liked to play live. Turns out I really really liked what I heard. I loved the 2 Seattle shows that I attended, and I ended up joining the Ten Club, which paid off, because now my girlfriend and I are headed to Nashville for both shows in May.
Also, Wreckage really resonated with me at the time. I loved how much it reminded me of Tom Petty
