The support act lineup was The Rats are Taking Over, Carva and The Clubheads. This was my first time seeing all 3 support acts live but not GurlzSpit as it happens that I am friends with them, but with me being their friend, my review will be fair. The night started out with The Rats are Taking over. The singer and bassist of the band, Phoenix, actually owns Systemic Promotions who hosted the gig. After looking at their social media after the gig, they label themselves as a "midwest emo band" and I can confidently say that they are. They opened the show with such energy and Phoenix's vocals stole the show for me as I'm not going to lie, I wasn't expecting too much from them. After them Carva and The clubheads were on. They were safe to say the heaviest bands out of the whole lineup and I wasn't mad about it! Again the vocalist from Carva stood out to me, especially with the screams. What stood out to me about the clubheads were the riffs and addicting melodies of their original songs so I hope I get to see more of them.
