Images: Forever Came Calling, Family Thief, At Sixes and Sevens, Wear Your Heart November 23, 2011 at Yayo Taco

If you missed Forever Came Calling earlier this year at The Knight Hall, then last Wednesday was your chance to redeem yourself, as the California pop punks returned to our city for a fun-filled early show at Yayo Taco. Songs from the band’s HopE.P.assion EP and the recently released split with Handguns filled the set, with Last Call’s Austin Jeffers joining the band on vocals for “Front Porch Sunrise.” ...

Bayside has long used “is a cult” as their band slogan (the amps on their current tour even spell out the four letter word) but looking out at the sea of kids in Bayside hoodies and tees (kudos to whoever designed the “It’s Always Sunny” parody shirt) on the packed House of Blues floor last Friday, it’s clear that they’re much more than that now. ...
