like unless you live in or very close to vegas where you wouldn't have to fly and stay overnight, if you're willing to spend that much on a festival ticket just go to aftershock or another similarly sized festival for the same genres. you can get a full weekend pass for the same price if you buy them early and a lot of them have discounted bundles that include hotels. why on earth would you do this

The song of the day is
BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ!!- Gimme chocolate!!
youtube
Going into aftershock, I knew of babymetal but only listened to like one of their songs. I knew they were good, but I was in the middle of listening to almost nothing but deathcore, so they got pushed to the side a bit.
Now, after seeing them live at aftershock, all I can say is holy shit what a band.
They were one of my favorite performances the entire festival, and that's saying something because everyone brought their A game for this festival. They were probably my favorite group that I did not recognize a single song they played.
Needless to say, I am going to be listening to a lot more babymetal going forward.

Just Pretend [n.s.]
Summary: Maddie Lane is a 25 year old nurse who primarily works between the hospital and music festivals that happen around where she lives. She loves her job and what she does, it's what she was always meant to do.
So, what happens when she gets offered to combine her two jobs and go around the world with Bad Omens as their tour nurse? The road is lonely, and Maddie and Noah know the feeling all too well when they're constantly alone with each other. They aren't in relationships but maybe with each other they can Just Pretend until it turns into something more.
Warnings: Angst, smut, unprotected sex (wrap it up people!!), mention of past abuse, heavy language
Pairing: Noah SebastianxOFC
All the chapters will be found on my master list posted at the top of my profile! Enjoy <3
Chapter One
I slid my medical personnel lanyard around my neck as I walked through the gate of Aftershock, running my fingers through my loose curls as I pulled my hair out from underneath it. California is technically never cold but it is October and chillier than usual so I opted for a pair of navy scrubs with a long sleeve fitted shirt underneath. Instant happiness washed over me as I was met with the sound of different bands playing throughout the area. A worker pointed me to the medical tent and I gave them a thanks before making my way to the others.
"Hi! Name and title?" A lady checking us in questioned.
"Maddie Lane, RN." I said with a smile.
She slid her finger down the page before nodding and placing a check beside my name. "Welcome and thank you for helping! Behind me you will find backpacks with all the supplies you might need inside them. These include splints, bandaids, gauze, disinfectant, two green whistles, IV kits, and a few other things. Since you are an RN you will be able to administer pain medication as well as some injections if needed, you just have to get them from any medical table you see. You get free food and refreshments while you are here, just show them your lanyard. We like to just make our way around the crowds and check them out. You have full access to in front of the barriers along with backstage, so I would make at least one round backstage per stage to check on the performers and make sure all is well. You can find banana bags back there on carts if any of them are dehydrated. Come see me if you have any questions! My name is Peggy. "
I smiled at her. "Thank you, Peggy."
"You're welcome! Oh, pick up one of the radios too." She said.
I made my way behind her table to grab a lime green backpack and slung it around my shoulders, tightening the straps so it sat comfortably on my back. I took my sunglasses off my scrub top and placed them on my face, the bright California sun straining my eyes. I started making my way to the first stage next to us and walking around the crowd. A couple girls came up to ask me if there was any water close by so I went and grabbed them a couple bottles at a medical tent, receiving enthusiastic thank you's in return. I smiled at them before making my way around the rest of the crowd, everyone on the outside looking good to go. I walked to the side of the stage and showed security my lanyard before being shuffled backstage so I could check on the workers and performers at that area.
I introduced myself to a few of the workers, telling them to let me know if they needed anything. They thanked me for my help before I began making my way further backstage to find any performers who might've indulged in a few too many drinks before showtime. I rounded a corner and saw a sitting area, a man laying on a long red couch with his arm over his eyes. I walked to his side and crouched down, taking my backpack off to set on the floor beside me. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, causing him to jump and uncover his squinted eyes.
"Hi, my name is Maddie. I'm a nurse working the festival today. Are you alright?" I questioned, looking into his dark brown eyes.
He shook his head no and squeezed his eyes shut. "I don't think so. I feel weird."
"Ok." I said, unzipping my backpack. "Can you tell me your name?"
"Daniel." He mumbled as he covered his eyes again.
"Have you drank any water today, Daniel?" I questioned, finding an IV kit in the bag. He shook his head no and I nodded in confirmation. "Alright, Daniel. When do you go on?"
He uncovered his eyes to check his watch, squinting to try and focus on it. "Thirty minutes."
I sighed and pushed myself off the ground to grab a banana bag off the cart behind me, returning to his side and sitting back down. "I'm gonna start an IV and try and get some fluids into you before then."
He groaned into his arm, causing me to chuckle. "A needle?"
I opened the IV kit with a laugh, slipping on some gloves from my bag. "It'll be quick and minimal pain, I promise."
He signed and laid his arm onto the couch beside me so I could look it over. "Ok, but if it's super painful I'm telling the whole crowd you hurt me."
I laughed as I rubbed an alcohol swab over a vein I chose. "Deal." I prepped the tubing for the bag before opening the needle. "Ready?"
He nodded and looked away from the needle as I anchored my finger on his skin. I smoothly inserted the IV, advancing the catheter and removing the needle from his skin before taping everything down. I hooked up all of the tubing and hung the bag from a clothing rack that was beside the couch before pushing myself off the ground, patting the man on his shoulder.
"This will be done by the time you're due on stage. There's medical staff running around who can take out the catheter for you." I said, zipping my bag up and tossing it onto my back.
"Thank you, Maddie." He said, giving me a nod.
I smiled at him. "Of course." I said before walking away and making my way around the back of the rest of the stage area.
Everyone denied any needs, so I left the backstage area to make my way to another concert area. I slowed my stride as I looked around, taking in all the music surrounding me. A content smile slid onto my face at the sound of all the music. I'm a big music fan but hold a special place in my heart for the metal and rock genres. I made my way around the next crowd, noticing a group was waving me to the front of the barricade. I picked up my pace to make it to the front, excusing myself when I'd bump into people. I briefly looked up at the stage to see who was playing, seeing none other than Noah Sebastian with his siren voice putting on the show of his life with the rest of the band. I forced myself to look away and push down the fan inside me as I made it to the front of the barricade.
Security had pulled a girl over so that she was standing in front of it, leaned over bracing herself on her knees as she struggled to breathe. I laid my hand on her back once I made it to her side, causing her to look over at me. Panic was written all over her face, her eyes wide and mouth hanging open, trying to take in as much oxygen as she could.
"Hi, I'm Maddie." I said, showing her my RN lanyard. "You having trouble breathing?"
She nodded frantically at me, grabbing at her chest before taking one deep breath and collapsing on the ground. Gasps echoed over the music as I grabbed her head before it hit the ground and I went to my knees beside her. I checked her pulse and noticed she no longer had one and immediately snapped into crisis mode, throwing my backpack off. I put my hands on her chest to begin compressions, counting to myself each one I did.
"Somebody radio for more help and have them bring an ambu bag." I said through my heavy breathing.
I went into tunnel vision as I continued pumping her chest, stopping every 30 to check her pulse. A group of medical personnel joined my side after a little bit, oxygenating her for me as I switched out with another worker. I took deep breaths through my nose and let them out through my mouth while I checked her pulse, letting the worker know she still didn't have one. They continued to perform compressions as I placed the AED pads on her chest. I switched back in to perform more compressions, counting out loud so they could monitor them. The AED let out a loud beeping from beside me and I turned to look at it, the screen signaling that we got a pulse back. I took my hands off her chest and rested them on my thighs, sitting back on my heels as my chest heaved up and down. The girl's eyes slowly opened and she looked at me in confusion.
I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you're ok. We've got you."
She grimaced, squeezing her eyes shut. "Ow." She said, causing me to chuckle and let out a sigh of relief.
Cheers erupted around us and I looked up to notice Bad Omens had stopped their set and were cheering along with the crowd. I slightly grinned at the lead singer before turning back to the crowd and giving them a small wave as the girl was put on a gurney and rolled off to the ambulance. The other workers pat me on the back as I picked my backpack back up and I sent them smiles in return.
"Everything ok now?" Noah asked me, crouched down so he could talk to me without the mic.
I nodded. "All under control."
"Good job." He said with a crooked grin before standing back up and continuing their set.
I stifled my grin before making my way backstage to check on other artists back there. I set up three IV's before Bad Omens came off stage, hyped up off of the high from performing in front of all those people. I paused my conversation with the performer I was hooking up to fluids to look at the band. The drummer high fived all the boys before quickly running over to the closest trash can, emptying the contents of his stomach into it. I patted the shoulder of the man I was helping before grabbing my bag and walking over to him, placing my hand on his back as he caught his breath.
"Why don't you come lay down." I said, rubbing his back softly as I guided him to the couch beside him. He laid down on it and threw his arm over his eyes with a groan. "Have you drank water today?"
"Does beer count?" He mumbled, causing me to chuckle.
"Not at all." I said as I unzipped my backpack.
He turned to look at me with furrowed brows when he heard the sound of packages being opened. "What are you doing?"
"I gotta get you hydrated." I said, grabbing a bag of saline off of the side table.
He groaned and poked his bottom lip out. "Do you have to?"
"If you don't want to stroke out, yes." I said, looking at him as he pouted.
His eyes got wide before nodding his head. "Ok yes please help needle mommy."
I laughed out loud as I opened everything and started looking over the veins in his arm. "My name's Maddie."
"Hi Maddie, I'm Nick. Or Folio. Or drummer." He said, causing me to chuckle again.
"Hi Nick. I'm going to poke you now." I said, giving him a warning before inserting the IV.
He grimaced before relaxing more into the couch. I hung up the bag on a stand before injecting some anti-nausea medications with some vitamins into the bag, turning it a bright shade of yellow.
Nick turned to me, color already returning to his face as the fluids entered his veins. "You're the one who saved that girl, aren't you?"
I grinned at him as I made sure the tape was secure on his arm. "I had help."
"But you jumped in without any hesitation. It was impressive." He said, a high pitched chuckle escaping him.
I smiled at him as I fully sat down, criss crossing my legs. "Thank you."
He closed his eyes with a sigh, relaxation taking over him. A tall shadow washed over me before I turned to see Noah squatting down beside me. "I'm Noah." He said, extending his hand to me.
I shook it with a smile. "Maddie. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. He gonna be alright?" He asked, gesturing to Nick.
I looked over at the sleeping man, nodding my head with a breathy laugh. "He should live to drum another day."
"Good. Thank you, Maddie." Noah said, squeezing my shoulder as I smiled at him. "That was pretty impressive what you did outside earlier."
"It was nothing." I said, breaking eye contact as my inability to accept compliments rose up.
"It wasn't nothing, but you're welcome." Noah said with a chuckle.
I cut my eyes at him before I could stop myself, causing him to laugh louder once I realized what I did.
"Noah your laugh is too loud right now." Nick said behind his arm.
Noah jutted his head to the side, motioning for me to follow him further into the backstage area. I zipped up my bag and followed him, quickly checking on the others who were receiving fluids as well. He stopped at the hydration station to fill up a cup of water, handing me one as well. I smiled at him in thanks before gulping it down, cotton mouth almost taking over.
"So is this all that you do, or do you work as a nurse somewhere else?" He questioned as he leaned against the table.
"Oh, I work at the hospital. I don't get paid for this." I said with a chuckle.
His eyes got wide. "You put in all this work for nothing in return?"
I laughed. "I help because I can."
"Very selfless of you." He said, filling his cup up with more water.
I smiled at him as I took another sip of water. "Thank you, I think."
"So, I have a crazy idea." He said, tossing his empty cup in the trash and turning to face me.
I tossed my own into the trash and furrowed my brows at him. "I'm listening."
"How would you feel about coming along with us on tour and being a tour nurse?" He questioned, crossing his arms across his chest. "That is, if you're not too attached to the hospital."
My eyes widened at his question. "Me?"
He chuckled with a nod. "Yes, Maddie, you."
I thought about the idea for a few moments before answering. "The only thing I love more than working in the ER is music."
"Then come pursue your first love with us." He said, eyes boring deeply into mine.
"I would need time to put in my notice." I said.
He shrugged. "We have a month before tour."
I chewed on the inside of my lip before answering. "I'm in."

Most importantly, we'll be performing some brand new unreleased songs from our upcoming fifth studio album. [We] just cannot wait to share what we've been working on for the last two years. This will be without a doubt a banger of a tour … We're looking forward to this so much!"
JINJER fall 2024 North American tour dates:
Sep. 20 - Sayreville, NJ @ Starland Ballroom Sep. 21 - Brooklyn, NY @ Metal Injection Fest Sep. 22 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Roxian Theatre Sep. 23 - Toronto, ON @ Danforth Music Hall Sep. 24 - Montreal, QC @ MTELUS Sep. 26 - Harrisburg, PA @ HMAC Sep. 27 - Baltimore, MD @ Baltimore Soundstage Sep. 29 - Louisville, KY @ Louder Than Life Oct. 01 - Charlotte, NC @ The Fillmore Oct. 02 - Atlanta, GA @ Buckhead Theatre Oct. 03 - Lake Buena Vist, FL @ House Of Blues Oct. 04 - North Myrtle Beach, SC @ House Of Blues Oct. 06 - Houston, TX @ House Of Blues Oct. 07 - San Antonio, TX @ The Aztec Theatre Oct. 09 - Denver, CO @ Ogden Theatre Oct. 11 - Las Vegas, NV @ House Of Blues Oct. 12 - San Bernardino, CA @ Mayhem Festival Oct. 13 - Sacramento, CA @ Aftershock Festival
During an appearance on a recent episode of Knotfest's "She's With The Band", the show hosted by Tori Kravitz, JINJER vocalist Tatiana Shmailyuk spoke about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the follow-up to the band's 2021 album "Wallflowers". Tatiana said: "My purpose is just to write lyrics and sing them. I'm so behind right now with the writing lyrics. And I warned my guys. We were at least to get a really rough draft, rough sketch or a demo of one song, like maybe first single from the new album, at least get this, but nope. [Stress and creativity don't] work with me. Well, but when the deadline's coming, and everybody knows that — I've been talking, like, every single time we release a new album, I say that, I say this — deadlines push me. So I just have to write, so I get this stream of consciousness, basically. I write down whatever the bullshit is in my head. And then you build it. At least you have to have bricks to build a poem or whatever it is, just lyrics."
Regarding the musical direction of the new JINJER material, Tatiana said: "It's gonna be different, first of all, because I feel that the music differs a lot. And to my mind, the whole — I won't say how many songs are there; I guess 12 or even 15; let's say 13; I don't remember — but they all have… not all of them, but half of them, at least, they have a similarity in them. They're similar to each other or they remind me. They have this concept within — without any lyrics, they still sound like they belong to one box. They are a set of songs. And I already think about all the… I'm not even thinking about like the lyrics — I think about the topics and stuff, but I think about the booklet or the cover or even the music videos and what I'm gonna wear there. And it has a certain flavor to me that… I feel like it has this flavor of 19th century. It's very romanticism from the 19th century. If you listen to it, you will think, 'Oh.' You know, when you listen to MUSE, you feel he was inspired by a lot of classical composers — obviously. So our new music has this flavor. And I'm so excited."
JINJER released its first official live DVD/Blu-ray, "Live In Los Angeles", on May 17 via Napalm Records. Recorded and filmed on December 22, 2022 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, this offering is intended to celebrate not only getting through the last few years in one piece, but also the band's 15-year career.
"Live In Los Angeles" was a spontaneous decision by the band, recorded as raw as possible, to emphasize the passion that can come from a live show. This release is an explosive mixture of JINJER's discography — featuring fan favorites like "Sit Stay Roll Over", "Home Back" and the game-changing "Pisces". The live album contains 16 songs in various audio formats, with some strictly limited: the deluxe digipack features not only a DVD, but also two more songs, "Wallflower" and "Disclosure!", recorded in Paris in 2023.
JINJER is:
Tatiana Shmayluk - Vocals Roman Ibramkhalilov - Guitars Eugene Abdukhanov - Bass Vlad Ulasevich - Drums

ooh why do you think that mcr will only do a festival next year?
I mean, I'm only going off of Frank here, to be frank (hehe), since the other guys... Well, we don't know what they're up to. However, Frank is in Dunes now and they're releasing another album early next year which naturally bands that release new albums go on tour not long after. I think it will be another Dunes year for Frank which means he won't have as much time for My Chem. I genuinely think My Chem will only do a festival or two like they did this year, especially if Dunes is on the bill like it was with WWWY this year where Dunes was an opener and My Chem was a headliner those nights. So, yeah. Maybe Aftershock, maybe WWWY again, maybe (and GOD FORBID) the new Warped Tour dates? We'll see.

Aftershock Day 1 Recap:
Day 1 was incredible!!!!
Let's start at the beginning. The line situation when trying to enter was super weird this year, but an employee let us go into a line we otherwise wouldn't have been able to go into. That line got us in really quickly. Thank you to that man lol.
The first band we saw was Pinkshift! It was my second time seeing them. They brought a lot of energy, and I'm glad I knew more of their songs this time around. My aunt really liked them and wants to check their music out now too! Speaking of my aunt. She won lots of cool points. I made bracelets to give away, and my aunt threw the Pinkshift one on stage. The singer grabbed it, made a heart gesture, and threw one back!! (It's in the pictures below!!) That was one of the best things to happen to me at Aftershock!! I also got a rose that was thrown by the singer!! 🥰
The next artist we saw was Nothing.nowhere. I admittedly had a bit of trouble trying to get into his music while doing my festival prep, but he was really good live!! I had a fun time vibing and headbanging. He was really engaging with the audience, and seemed happy to be there. Plus, he covered One Step Closer by Linkin Park!!! I had no clue he was going to do that. My dad, aunt, and I are humongous LP fans, so we really went hard singing and headbanging.
Next was White Reaper! They were vibey. They were definitely the most chill set of the day. They were nice to watch and relax a little. It was pretty stinking hot already at this point, so I enjoyed the break from jumping and headbanging. They were entertaining, and my aunt knew a few of their songs!
Thousand Below was the first time in the day we saw a solid mosh pit. They were heavy and awesome! I had an equally fun time watching the band as I did watching the pit!! There were a couple kids on their parents shoulders in the mosh pit. They looked like they were having a great time, and it was fun to see. I always worry about kids in crowds, but those kids were very safe and very happy.
We were only able to catch about 20 minutes of Pennywise's set, but I'm grateful for those 20 minutes! They were good!! I really like their music, so I was excited and had decently high expectations. They definitely met my expectations. We sat down to rest a bit during their set, but nonetheless it was still fun!
Next up was Stone Temple Pilots!! This was my third time seeing them, and also probably the best time. I'm a huge huge huge STP fan. I managed to get really close to the stage, and I had a great view the whole time. I also went a little crazy, because they played Big Bang Baby!! It's my favorite song, and they didn't do it last time. I screamed louder than I had all day at that point lol. I was jumping through the whole song. I was separated from my dad, but afterwards he told me he recorded the song for me!!
We got surprisingly close for AFI considering we literally got to the stage as the band was coming on. My aunt has been wanting to see them for years, so this was her moment. It was my second time seeing them. They were as good as I remembered! That crowd wasn't too rowdy or crowded, and the mosh pit when on pretty much the entire time. My aunt went into the mosh pit, and I found out that was her first time!
We only watched some of Incubus' set, because we wanted to get close for Avenged Sevenfold. They were really good though! I hope one day I can catch a full set, since last time I saw them it was also only a partial set. We met up with some of my dad's old work friends at this point. They're super sweet, so it was nice to see them. Both of them kept commenting on how big I am now lol. I think I'm still like 10 in their minds, but that's okay lol. We don't see each other often.
Avenged Sevenfold was incredible, obviously. This was my second time seeing them, but my first time in a festival setting. They had so much energy. M Shadows' voice absolutely delivered, and it is no secret that I think Synyster Gates is a god. There was a pit in front of us that never lost steam through the entire set. I got pushed around a bit, but my aunt and dad made sure I was safe and could enjoy the show. I was able to see the band on stage for most of the set, which was definitely nice. They had cool visuals on the screens though, so it wasn't too bad when I couldn't see the band.
I was able to give out all of my bracelets, and everyone seemed really excited about them!! No one was expecting a bracelet lol. I'm looking forward to handing more out today!! I also met some dude in a band. We were talking for a couple minutes, and he was really nice. After this weekend, I'll have to check out his music. I love meeting local musicians!!

Falling In Reverse and the backing tracks
Since Sept 2022 there is a renewing beef between Ronnie Radke and Eddie Trunk/Sebastian Bach about the question: is there confirmed for a rock band to use laptops (a.k.a. backing tracks) in their live show or that would kill the essence of rock music live.
After many attempts from other musicians to explain Trunk that rock music has changed some in the past 30 years, and the live sounding became much complicated and dense either, Loudwire released an article today which summarizes the usage of the backing tracks in live music in general.
We even have a nice and clear definition here:
The article goes on with detailing the beef between FIR/Ronnie and Eddie, summarizing the mudthrowing which lasted more than a month long in 2022. Finally we get a statement:
"The band [FIR] undeniably has electronic components in their music, so the use of tracks is really the only way the songs could be adapted live appropriately."
Ronnie Radke talks about the laptop issue at Aftershock Festival in 2022, not much after the beef started. I picked only the backing track part, but it's worth to watch the whole video on YouTube.

Another article was relased a few days later detailing bands' thoughts on using backing tracks in a live show.
The article contains a fabulous quote from Ronnie, unfortunately already deleted from Twitter.
The whole beef from Sep 2022 was well summarized in RockFeed's video, check below:
