“As soon as they played the opening licks, heads started banging, and the tide came in.

Big sonic slabs of muscular power with a taste of the dark melodies of post-grunge remain Drowning Pool’s stock and trade. Their music is an unapologetic celebration of life’s joy and pain, able to swiftly maneuver between defiant declarations of resistance. Each distinctive era of the band’s history is represented onstage, where the band bashes through an arsenal of anthems all delivered with precision strength.The best thing about Drowning Pool was just how energetic and passionate every member of the band is. It’s obvious why they do what they do. Everything from CJ’s aerial jumps and crazy faces, to Jason getting as close as possible to the crowd, sometimes even letting them sing into his mic. This was one of the best shows I have seen, definitely catch them on tour!” - Metalheadblog.com
