The Promise Ring

In August 2016, The Promise Ring was riding high on the nostalgia wave, having recently reunited in 2015 after a decade-long hiatus. Their vibrant performance of 'Everywhere in Denver' at the Masquerade in Atlanta captures the essence of their earlier work, particularly the album 'Wood/Water,' which was released in 2002. This album marked an evolution in their sound, blending their iconic emo roots with more polished pop sensibilities. Fans recognized the significance of this reunion, as the band explored both classic favorites and new material, reinvigorating the emotional connections built over their career. Interestingly, the live recording exemplifies not just their talent, but the band's enduring influence on the emo genre and its resurgence in the music scene. Seeing them live again was like stepping back in time, evoking memories of youth and heartfelt anthems.
