It was a cold night in New Bedford and the fans were lined up waiting to get in to the sold out Vault to see Plush rock the night away.
The first band of the evening was American Heavy Metal power trio Stormstress. They are known for electrifying riffs, thunderous grooves, and haunting melodies. The band consists of guitarist Tanya Venom and bassist Tye Mayhem who deliver dual lead vocals over the aggressive accompaniment of powerhouse drummer and backing vocalist Maddie May Scott. They create a signature sound shaped by the drama of melodic metal and the fire of high octane hard rock.
From the minute they hit the stage the fans were cheering. They were getting the crowd on their feet singing along to their songs. They played a mix of songs from their older parts of their catalog and they played a brand new song that they played for the first time for the fans. The fans cheered as they seemed to love the new material the band was putting out.
They came to get the crowd moving and they did just that. They came with high energy and were ready to Rock!
Next band to hit the stage was all girl Rock Band Plush. Their mission is to bring rock back to the forefront of the music industry. Their hope is to inspire young women everywhere to follow their dreams, regardless of whatever challenges may lie in the way. The band is composed of talented young women, fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist Moriah Formica, lead guitarist Bella Perron, bassist Ashley Suppa and drummer Faith Powell. This was their third sold out show on their first headlining tour.
As soon as they hit the stage they came out with high energy & extreme power. They were here to party and the crowd knew that from the first note of their first song “Athena.” The band played two more songs “Champion,” and “Run.” Before the next song ” Kill The Noise,”bassist Suppa was having technical difficulties with her bass and had to have the stage crew try and resolve this. The other band members noticed and decided to keep the show moving by doing a jam while her bass was being fixed. Once the issue was fixed Suppa came to the mic and jokingly said “I guess I really did kill the noise.” The band and the crowd laughed and cheered as they continued their set.
They continued with “Sober,” and “Walk Away,” The crowd was cheering and singing along to the music and were loving seeing the band live. The fans were feeding off the bands energy. They went on to play a Heart cover “Barracuda.” The fans sang along as Formica let the crowd sing the chorus themselves. The new release, “Find The Beautiful,” is an EP that features six songs, five original and one classic cover that rock fans know and love.
The set was coming to a close and the band finished their set with “Will Not Win,” and “Hope It Hurts.” They ended their set with the hit single “Left Behind,” which placed on Billboard’s Top 40 Active Rock chart. This song is off their new EP. This is a band that you need to see live. They are a group of young talented artists and it shows through their live performance. They are a group that gets the crowd energetic and leaves the crowd wanting more.
