Javelins

One of the first shows that I went to was Anathallo, Colour Revolt, Foxhole, and Javelins. I was in awe. It was above a pizza parlour in Ohio, and the air was exciting. I was young, and really into any band that most of my friends hadn't heard of. This was the show to be at. I will venture out of describing the entire show, and move towards the glory that was Javelins.
Javelins is a three piece, but plays a large sound, and you soon forget that there are only 3 of them on stage. The drummer, who is also the singer, commands the forces with his naturally high voice belting through the speakers, and drumming pulsing through the room. With the one lone guitarist playing fast strumming patterns, and high amounts of reverb, there were moments where I thought God was resting his presence on the room. The bass player had stage left to himself, and played with perfect bass tone that swirled through the room. The bass player seemed to be responsible for the backing tracks that carried synths, auxiliary percussion, and some complimentary guitar parts. It was a great performance, and they have shaped me significantly. Give them a listen by clicking their band name, Javelins. Be sure to listen to their song "Entropy", which they released on a split vinyl with the band Anathallo.
