It's a special night On The Town adventure for SouthSide, blogspot readers! Recently, she was invited to check local band - Sok (pronounced Soak) at their Subterranean show featuring other bands Snooze, Disaster Kid and Cut Your Losses rockin' the lineup. Her interest was intrigued after speaking with Ana upon hearing the band being described as a crossover between Heart and Paramore. It was truly piqued upon sampling some of Sok’s music before attending the show. However, in all honesty, blogspot readers, SouthSide thoroughly enjoyed the live, energetic version of Sok instead of the recorded side …and she believes you will too.
From start to finish, Sok packed the SubT upper room with plenty of Heart (off the guitars) and Paramore (in the vocals by Alexis) within its set delighting their fans and new ones like SouthSide. Even while slowing down the tempo a bit for a heartfelt moment during the song Cling, this band never once lost that energy felt when opening with Midnight Muse and Pulp. Lead vocalist, Alexis, certainly owns the stage, blogspot readers, with her charismatic presence and body language engages the music listeners to rock out with the band without any encouragement to do so. It simply happens naturally. For example, during SouthSide’s favorite new song – Every Shade of Blue – it was incredible hearing as well as feeling that vibe pulsating throughout the venue which had the SubT floor thundered from fans jumping around and head banging. The evening ended with a rousing, fist pumping performance of Sok’s hit single – Jawbreaker.
If you ever get the chance, blogspot readers, check out Sok on Facebook, Instagram (soktheband) and Spotify …the live version is way better.
SouthSide would like to thank Alexis (vocals), Jonah (bass), Cameron (drums) and Ana (guitar) for the fun adventure after a long day at work.
Until next time, support your local scene,
SouthSide
