Yet they soon make up for it by lining banger after banger; <em>&#8216;You Know How I Do,&#8217;<\/em> <em>&#8216;Error: Operator,&#8217;<\/em> <em>&#8216;A Decade Under the Influence&#8217;<\/em> and more. Although newer songs such as <em>\u2018Death Wolf\u2019<\/em> aren\u2019t quite received with the same enthusiasm, Adam Lazzara&#8217;s charismatic presence remains intact. Closing with <em>\u2018Cute Without the &#8216;E&#8217; (Cut from the Team)\u2019<\/em> and<em> &#8216;MakeDamnSure,&#8217;<\/em> <strong>TBS<\/strong> have the Millenium Square crowd in the palm of their hand, as they sing back in unison, word for word. (SR)<\/p>\n<p><strong>As It Is<\/strong> (4\/5) may have expected a bigger crowd for their set, but as Patty Walters acknowledged, they were up against the titans of Jimmy Eat World and Good Charlotte. All dressed in black, with Walters and guitarist Ben Bliss sporting eyeliner, the era of<em> &#8216;The Great Depression&#8217;<\/em> appeared in full swing, although no other new tracks were given an outing, besides recent single. &#8216;The Wounded World.&#8217; The slick production was to be admired with backing tracks used to beef up songs. Old cuts were as sharp as ever, with <em>&#8216;Speak Soft&#8217;<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Concrete&#8217;<\/em> ageing well, while the young audience sang every word of<em> &#8216;Hey Rachel&#8217;<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Patchwork Love.&#8217;<\/em> Having opened the same stage three years earlier, on this showing their rapid ascent is well deserved. (PS)<\/p>\n<p>While some festival headliners use their spot to showcase elaborate production flair and so on, <strong>Jimmy Eat World<\/strong> (4.5\/5) doesn\u2019t need to as they have the songs to satisfy the masses. From <em>\u2018Lucky Denver Mint\u2019<\/em> to<em> \u2018Sure and Certain\u2019,<\/em> the Arizona quartet supply a set that picks out highlights from their 25 years as a band. Although the woeful<em> \u2018Pass The Baby\u2019<\/em> and recently released <em>\u2018Love Never\u2019<\/em> sends the crowd into a lull, Jimmy Eat World more than make up for it. Inevitably ending with<em> \u2018Sweetness\u2019<\/em> an<em>d \u2018The Middle\u2019,<\/em> they send the crowd home happy as both are sung back with elated joy. (SR)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Slam Dunk South &#8211; Hatfield Park, Hatfield (27\/05\/2018)<\/h2>\n<p>2018 saw another venue change for <strong>Slam Dunk<\/strong>, this time relocating the South event from Hatfield University to the historic Hatfield Park. It escalated the festival from Warped Tour to Reading and Leeds, with huge tents for some stages, and monolithic structures for the two main stages.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the venue change, it all went without a hitch. No capacity limits for any stage meant that everyone attending got to see all the bands they wanted. The only risk the new site holds is that the slightest bit of rain will turn the park into a disgusting bog, but thankfully, it held off this year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-63779\" style=\"max-width: 825px;

The energy expelled from Keith Buckley is enough to elevate him as one of hardcore&#8217;s greatest frontmen. Bordering on dangerous, the set saw half the band crowd surfing, attempted stage invasions, and even one kid climbing the tent supports during <em>&#8216;Map Change&#8217;.<\/em> It was a performance that will go down as one of the best the festival has ever held! (BM)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Slam Dunk Midlands &#8211; The NEC, Birmingham (28\/05\/2018)<\/h2>\n<p>For the third and final day, <strong>Slam Dunk<\/strong> returned to Birmingham. Despite being based at The NEC for the past two years, festival goers found them confused by the layout with some stages tucked well out of sight, round corners or down long dark corridors, ensuring that people were still wandering around looking a bit lost late into the day.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, with a jubilant and relaxed atmosphere, it was clear this was going to be an enjoyable and special last day of <strong>Slam Dunk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Opening up the Fireball Stage in the clouded heat of a Bank Holiday Monday was <strong>Templeton Pek<\/strong> (3\/5). The local three-piece played a decent handful of songs from their recent <em>\u2018Watching The World Come Undone\u2019<\/em> record. With a few people knowing the words well, it&#8217;s clear the Birmingham trio had a hometown advantage. Their short but punchy set left the appreciative audience thoroughly warmed up and ready for the rest of the day. (BS)<\/p>\n<p>Stomping and scissor kicking around the stage with his shirt off like he owned the place, <strong>Brutality Will Prevail<\/strong> (4\/5) lead singer Louis Gauthier requested crowd surfers and pits from a crowd who were only too keen to oblige. Leaping into the crowd himself at one point and being surfed around the place while his band delivered a set of tight and brutal hardcore that lives up to their name, <strong>Brutality Will Prevail<\/strong> ensured that everyone left the extremely hot lunchtime atmosphere of the Impericon Stage sweaty and exhausted. (BS)<\/p>\n<p>The pitch darkness of the Genting Arena was the perfect place to play host to the black hearts of <strong>Creeper<\/strong> (3\/5) and their eager &#8220;Creeper Cult&#8221; who happily avoided the sunshine outside to watch the band put on their usual mesmerising and theatrical performance. Opening up with <em>\u2018Black Rain\u2019<\/em> and ending with<em> \u2018Misery\u2019,<\/em> their set was well thought out and utilised the natural peaks and troughs in their back catalogue to build up tension and eventual release. (BS)<\/p>\n<p>Playing in the open air sunshine of the Signature Brew stage, <strong>Trash Boat<\/strong> (3\/5) whipped up a bouncy, party atmosphere which inspired some rowdy mosh pits by a hardcore few at the front. The band leapt around the stage enthusiastically, and treated the crowd to their catchy, feel-good anthems such as <em>\u2018Tring Quarry\u2019<\/em> and<em> \u2018Strangers\u2019,<\/em> as well as the more hardcore sounds of <em>\u2018Pangaea\u2019.<\/em> They also found the time to good-naturedly make fun of pals As It Is by referring to them as My Chemical Romance, which got a lot of laughs and cheers.

The Rattlesnakes<\/strong> (5\/5) just seems to get better and better; his command of the stage and interactions with the crowd improving with each performance. From walking on the outreached hands of his fans to organising a gigantic circle pit around the mixing desk, followed by lots of miniature circle pits, and the usual \u2018girls only\u2019 crowd surf during <em>\u2018Wild Flowers\u2019,<\/em> Carter and company&#8217;s performance is slick and relentless. Their energetic set comes to an end with the anthemic<em> \u2018I Hate You.\u2019<\/em> With everyone screaming along, a triumphant Frank Carter re-donned his leopard print pimp coat and sauntered off like the rock legend he is. (BS)<\/p>\n<p>Slightly hampered by John Nolan\u2019s guitar problems and an oversized arena that basically made every band sound echoey, empty and imbalanced until you got close enough, this wasn\u2019t <strong>Taking Back Sunday<\/strong>\u2019s (3\/5) best set, but the band seemed relaxed and professionally pushed through. By the time it got to <em>&#8216;What\u2019s It Feel Like To Be A Ghost?&#8217;<\/em> things had picked up a little, with Adam Lazarra casually prancing around the stage and swinging his mic around his head. Sticking with a set full of classics, it was<em> \u2018Cute Without The E\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018MakeDamnSure\u2019<\/em> that really brought the house down, with everyone from front to back singing along. (BS)<\/p>\n<p>Giving everyone a throwback to 2000s,<strong> Good Charlotte<\/strong> (5\/5) hit the main stage to headline a set full of their greatest hits. Opening with<em> \u2018The Anthem\u2019<\/em> and ending on <em>\u2018Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous\u2019,<\/em> they mostly stuck to the singalong classics, with new single<em> \u2018Actual Pain\u2019<\/em> thrown in for good measure. On this showing, it\u2019s hard to believe this was the band\u2019s first ever festival headline slot in the UK. Nevertheless, with a hit-filled set, explosive pyrotechnics, inspirational speeches and plenty of audience participation, it won&#8217;t be the last time they take top billing.
