Brighton has a tendency to oversell, and this was one of those nights where the back of the room by the merch table was as packed as the floor. Nobody seemed to mind. The crowd that filled every inch of that venue had come ready to headbang and scream along.

Tuesday nights in Boston are seldom this full. But when Taylor Acorn walked on stage at the House of Blues, the venue was packed. Shoulder to shoulder, buzzing with a mix of punk nostalgia and fresh energy.
