The Promise Ring

On September 16, 2012, The Promise Ring brought their signature blend of emotive pop-punk to the stage at Riot Fest in Chicago. This live recording features the crowd-pleaser "Forget Me," which is part of their vibrant catalog. At this point in their career, they were riding the wave of their reunion, having released their first album in over a decade, "Kabul Golf Club," just a year earlier in 2011. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, rekindling their beloved sound that fans had missed for so long. The energy of the performance and the warmth from the Chicago crowd represent not just a nostalgic moment for longtime fans but also a reaffirmation of the band's relevance in the evolving music scene. It's fascinating to note how the band navigated those years apart, yet managed such a seamless return to the stage.
