 Literally
days before Bury Tomorrow’s third, high
anticipated album is set to be release called
‘Runes’, the band stopped off in Stoke
during their latest UK headline tour to promote
the release. Bury Tomorrow brought the likes of
Napoleon, Demoraliser and Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!
Along with them as support.
I’ve never seen Bury tomorrow live before
so It was a pleasure to have the chance to not
only see them live but to photograph them too.
As I walked into the very small, hot and sweaty
venue called The Sugarmil, I could see  the
crowd raring to go as support band Demoraliser
warmed them up with their heavy breakdowns as
Pits were opening up throughout the tiny venue.
I even got caught in a wall of death where a whole
beer was thrown over me but nothing was going
to bring the excitement away from seeing Bury
Tomorrow.
I didn’t know Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!
Were support for this tour so finding out as they
walked on stage was a great treat because they
are a great band all the way from France and I’ve
photographed them before so I was very excited
to see  them
again. They kept to crowd going throughout their
set with their pop-punk/hardcore mixture of music
as Bertrand Poncet, on lead vocals, give a very
energetic and entertaining performance. The band
even treated their fans and threw in a cover of
‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth, which actually
went down really well as I saw everyone in the
room bouncing and singing along to it.
I rate Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! 4/5 as their
performances are always so fun and energetic.
 As
Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Walked off stage after
their last song, you could see the tons of fans
in the packed out building just itching in anticipation
for the one band they actually came to see to
walk on.
Finally it was time, as the lights dimmed and
the crowd began to roar, Bury Tomorrow walked
on stage.
They opened up with ‘Man on Fire’,
the first single from their yet to be released,
new album, ‘Runes’. The entire audience
was in the palm of Dani Winter-Bates’ hand
the whole time, as anything he  asked
them to do, the crowd did so. There were literally
bodies flying everywhere from the back of the
room to the front and over the barrier, there
were also people hoisted up in the air and on
other peoples shoulders as told to do so by Dani
Winter-Bates again.
As well as old favorites ‘Waxed Wings’
and ‘Evolution of Self’ The band also
belted out some of their new tracks throughout
the set, as well as ‘Man on Fire’
they also treated the crowd to brand new songs
‘Of Glory’, ‘The Torch’,
and ‘The Watcher’, from their brand
new album ‘Runes’. The new  tracks
couldn’t have gone any better as pitch perfect,
clean vocalist Jason Cameron sang along to them,
the crowd sang all the words right back at the
band.
By the end of the bands set and what everyone
thought was their last song, it was easy to see
everyone in the building was exhausted, the crowd
and the band both put so much effort into this
show and it truly was a great treat for everyone
there.
As the band left the stage and everyone tried
to down their last pints, the crowd still holding
on to what energy they have left started rumbling
and shouting for more, next thing you know the
band were back onstage for an encore which was
one of their most famous and meaningful tracks,
‘Lionheart’ from the second album
‘The Union of Crowns’.
This was a great night and I highly recommend
anyone that hasn’t seen this band live yet
to hurry up and stop wasting time before the band
gets bigger and bigger. I rate this performance
Chunk!, No Captain Chunk 4/5
Bury Tomorrow 5/5
