Its crazy to think that this year Lightning Bolt celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their self-titled debut.
In the early 2000s the Providence Rhode Island noise scene was something that everyone wanted a piece of and they've got the press clippings to prove it.
No matter how rabid and destructive the openers — and the Empty Bottle was rumbling on Sunday night prior to the Brians reaching the stage — there’s an electricity in the air an ecstatic energy ready to spread in waves of massive riff.
Boasting a return to Birmingham for perennial favourites and sonic demolition artists Lightning Bolt the lineup was bolstered by two support acts spanning widely varying styles, yet with a shared love of volume.
