Night Ranger are without a doubt one of the most recognizable names in melodic rock and AOR. Classic hits like “Sister Christian” and “When You Close Your Eyes” helped propel the band into rock’s spotlight during the mid-1980s. Although their most recent studio album, ATBPO, was released five years ago, Night Ranger have remained active. This time, they return with… Continue Reading →

It was hot as balls outside in Omaha, NE on Monday, July 27, but that didn’t stop the loyal Poppy fans from attending her concert at the Admiral Theater.

Post-hardcore band Thousand Below, from San Diego opened up the show. This was the fourth consecutive year this four-piece has played the Admiral. They were energetic and got the pit going. It was nice to see so many here already for the opener. They definitely won a lot of fans over. I’m excited to see where their career goes as I could definitely see them headline the Admiral in the near future. Check out their latest release, Buried in Jade.

Landmvrks from France was the direct support for the night. This five-piece were incredible to see live. Shout out to them for successfully coming to America with no issues with visas. I know it’s hard to travel overseas now, especially musicians. They came to conquer America without hesitation. The lead vocalist, Florent Salfati, had this very melodic angelic voice while singing. He was rapping in French at one point. I loved it when a vocalist can rap, scream, and sing. I call that the Corey Taylor effect. Again, the audience was very warm towards them for their first time in Omaha. I hope they come back and maybe headline someday. Check out their latest album, The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been.

Finally, the crowd was ready for Poppy. This was my second time seeing her live and she continues to deliver incredible performances. She had these two tall platforms, one for her drummer and one for her and her bandmates. I’ve never seen a stage setup like this at the Admiral/Sokol before, so great job for uniqueness. Poppy really is currently metal’s princess, when she sings, she comes off as sweet, but when she screams bloody murder, you just want to go crazy. I was unfamiliar with her playing guitar, so it was cool to see her rock out while playing a six-string. She had an incredible band of musicians backing her up. And the pit continued to tear it up, going extra hard for Poppy. I could see Poppy play arenas in her future. She has such a loyal fanbase that if she continues to collect more and more people, she’s due to play for some massive crowds. Be sure to check out her latest album, Empty Hands.

The end is the beginning

With a different name

Laughter in sheets of metal

Cutting through a memory of stone 

Crush of Souls has always carried himself like a man who missed the last train, stole a delivery van, and decided the road ahead probably merged into a bassline. On Captive Youth, his third full-length album, mastermind Charles Rowell turns that perpetual displacement into nine tracks of industrial dance music built for warehouses, bruised romances, and people who have memorized every fire exit in Europe.

Rowell has spent years moving through Crocodiles, Flowers of Evil, Issue, and assorted corners of the international punk underground. Captive Youth treats that history as fuel for a hard reset. The guitars and dark folk traces that once framed the project have been pushed aside in favor of body music, synth-pop, and machine-driven club pressure. New Order’s Technique, Nitzer Ebb’s Belief, Psychic TV’s Towards Thee Infinite Beat, and Anne Clark’s Pressure Points hover nearby as useful coordinates, although Rowell keeps the material personal enough to avoid sounding like a man trapped beneath a collapsing record collection.

Crush Of Souls’ rhythms move with the blunt authority of warehouse machinery, while the drums crack with enough force to make your landlord inspect the ceiling. These rhythms give Rowell room to write about politics, sex, labor, family, and youth as a vanishing resource. His voice carries the exhaustion of somebody who has crossed too many borders and still has enough nerve to flirt at customs. Romance remains present, though it usually appears with a split lip and questionable identification. Across the record, desire keeps colliding with bureaucracy, mortality, and the sort of private ruin no nightclub stamp can excuse.

Dying To Stay Young cuts deep. Its family has been starved of affection, surrounded by violence, and taught to regard survival as another form of punishment. Blades, prisons, fire, graves, and fallen angels crowd the lyric, while youth becomes a condition everyone is desperate to preserve even as the body and the world conspire against it. The repeated appeal for the sun to open wide gives the song a strange grandeur, as though daylight itself might expose the damage or burn away whatever remains.

Joshua Hourigan’s video extends that unease through snowbound landscapes, fractured edits, spectral figures, and an old castle that looks overdue for either an exorcism or Enya and her army of cats. A spirit dancer appears behind windows, veiled and confined, their movements suggesting souls held inside a structure that has forgotten why it keeps them. Glitches interrupt the scenery, turning the surrounding wilderness into a damaged transmission from somewhere colder and less forgiving.

Watch the video for Dying to Stay Young below:

Captive Youth is lean, physical, and politically alert, carrying Rowell’s wandering-worker sensibility into a tougher electronic frame. The album understands that staying young can become another exhausting job, complete with bad hours, no benefits, and a manager named Death, who never approves leave.

Captive Youth is out now via Avant! Records. Order and stream the album here.
