Wednesday, July 5th, 2023 Counterparts / Boundaries #2
Date: Wednesday, July 5th, 2023
Venue: London Music Hall - Ontario, Canada
Lineup:
Omerta
Boundaries
Like Moths To Flames
Counterparts
Omerta was a super unique and fun band to watch live! I had previously heard their name in conversations within the scene, but I had neglected to check out their music until after I saw them live. They definitely gained a new fan after this show! :)

Like Moths To Flames is another band I have heard so much about yet never really got into. Their set was awesome, and the vocalist was very interactive with the crowd, which made their set even better! I definitely checked out more of their music after this show.
Fun Meter: 5/5
Fav Song(s): Bury Your Pain

Boundaries fucking ROCKED! They’re one of my favourite bands and definitely one of the bands that are absolutely killing it in the new metalcore revival scene that’s been gaining momentum in recent years. I could go on and on about how much I fuck with their music, but I’ll save the incessant fangirling and just post some of my favourite photos I took during their set lmao.
Favourite Song(s): Get Out, Realize and Rebuild, My Body Is A Cage, Armageddon, Burying Brightness
Memorable Moments:
- They played some of my favourite songs of theirs teehee
- I got to meet Matt after the show, thank him for coming to London and fistbump him. He was very nice!
Fun Meter: 1000/5
Boundaries Photo Dump!
Counterparts is also one of my favourite bands, so you could imagine how excited I was when this tour lineup was first announced lmao. I had been wanting to see them for SO long, but unfortunately I was never able to see them over the years when they announced shows in my general area. The wait was well worth it!
Memorable Moments:
- Twice’s (K-pop band) music video and song playing on the backdrop screen and over the loud speakers between LMTF’s set and Counterpart’s set. The security looked so fucking confused and and one of them walked past me screaming, “who the fuck is controlling the music right now??? What the fuck is this?”. It was fucking hilarious.
- Brendan saying “show me something to fucking remember London” and then a man immediately pushed up to barricade right beside me, jumped up on the barricade and proceeded to dive off of it into the crowd (all while the security was panicking and looked like they were going to shit themselves 💀).
- Brendan two stepping to his own bands song. Rock on bro 😭
- Their entire set was really fun, honestly. I loved the banter and the energy they brought.

Setlist(s) and Other Photos
Overall this night was absolutely incredible. Getting to see two of my favourite bands on one bill was a really enjoyable experience. I love when bands I love tour together, and when I’m able to become a fan of other bands I’m not as familiar with because of their performances! Shout out A&W for being my bestie and I’s go-to post concert meal, the GOAT. 💀

WHAT? HOLY SHIT YOU'VE SEEN BOUNDARIES AND FUCKING LMTF???!!?!? THOSE ARE MY TWO FAVOURITE METALCORE BANDS AND LITERALLY GOT ME TO START MY OWN BAND. AAAAAAA IM SO JEALOUS, THAT MUSTVE BEEN AMAZING. Also I love how you used the Burying Brightness blinkie I made <3
I just realized Omerta was on that list. That entire line up is basically half of my top 10 metalcore bands. I was gonna see Omerta a few weeks ago when they played with SeeYouSpaceCowboy but I couldn't get a ride :( I'll see them one day though

YEAHHHHHHH it was such a great show and every band put on such a great performance! I’m so glad I was able to see boundaries, I definitely wanna see them again soon. I didn’t know you were the one who made he bury brightness blinking! Thank you so much for making it, it’s so cute
I can give you credit for it in this blog if you want :)

Omerta was great! Unfortunately the crowd at my show didn’t really give them a fantastic response, but I thought their set was fucking awesome. I would LOVE to see SeeYouSpaceCowboy! I think they’re also on tour right now with Callous Daoboys, who is a band I absolutely fuck with. The entire lineup for that tour is insane

That sounds so awesome, I hope I can see Boundaries live one day. If I do I swear I'll go harder in the pit than ever before. I've already dislocated my jaw at a show so I'd probably end up in the ER for the Boundaries pit. And it's okie, you don't have to credit me :3 where did you get the blinkie from though? If you didn't know I made it then that means someone else took it from my profile and I gotta meet them since they're also a Boundaries fan. Also I'm probably gonna make a Boundaries banner like the other 6 I have on my profile

Honestly I can’t remember what account I got it from. I might have got it from yours and just not realized that you made it
i often don’t check the names of the accounts if I see blinkies I like, or I just assume they got it from somewhere else and they didn’t make it lmao

Makes sense, I do the same thing. Sometimes I'll go to the active user section and see who has a cool pfp and yoink any of their blinkies because making cool custom blinkies is too hard. I love making the band banner things though
