@HighlySuspect comes to @RedRocksAmpitheatre on 10/20/2022

Highly Suspect comes to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. The lineup also featured DestroyBoys and Spiritbox! All three bands featured the various styles of a classic punk rock sound which featured heavy guitars, drums, and strong bass led by loud dominating vocals from all three singers. Whereas the first two bands reminded me of something from the metal and punk rock bands from the 90s or early 00s, Highly suspect was definitely more versatile and mainstream sounding of today’s music.

The Line-up

Up first to open the night was DestroyBoys. This punk rock group from California is full of character and energy, and this band has fun on stage. A great opening act, DestroyBoys began the night with their hard-hitting, in-your-face, non-conforming attitudes. Each lyric and song is easily relatable and perfectly embodies the rebellious tone of the punk rock scene with heavy lead guitar riffs and songs made for the socially misunderstood.

Spiritbox

Up next to follow was the Canadian rock group Spiritbox. More of a metal group than punk rock, this has to be one of the newest and most exciting groups in the metalcore genre. With some of the most powerful yet melodic and mindblowing vocals, this singer stood out with her enormous vocal range and incredibly strong stage presence as one of the most dominant in any genre of music. Coupled with huge breakdowns and heavy guitar leads, there is absolutely no doubt that when this band comes on the stage, they came to make their presence felt throughout their entire set! Very loud and fun to watch and listen to, with powerful screams that echoed throughout. Great live set!

Highly Suspect

The last group to play and Headline the event was one of the most unique and versatile-sounding bands in the rock genre, Highly Suspect. A little bit more distinct sounding from the other two bands, Highly Suspect was the perfect combination of a more alternative style rock mixed with almost a little hip hop in some songs, and with other tracks sounding a little bit more like rock music with a hint of blues in the vocals. They had very catchy guitar riffs and raw, powerful, soulful vocals.

Having had a little mainstream success, these guys packed the house and had the entire amphitheater singing out loud to every single lyric and song they played, earning them a well-deserved Encore from the crowd at the end of the night.
