Warped 2008: Against the Gym

I caught the last part of Against Me!'s set on the right Main Stage. It was as expected; Tight, tense and swirling with electricity. Note: the singer sounds an awful lot like Ian Astbury of the Cult at times ...

Now, Gym Class Heroes are wooing and cooing on the left Main Stage. Singer Travis McCoy "messed up" his knee about a week ago, and that's taking away from what would normally be a much bouncier set. It's still fine, especially sonically, and Mr. McCoy is a tireless cheerleader, even when hobbled. But, unfortunately, bands need to be much more active to capture new fans at Warped, and without the sealed focus of an indoor venue, it loses a lot of its ability to entice the casual.
