The Promise Ring

In 2012, The Promise Ring was riding the nostalgia wave of their earlier successes, particularly following their reunion after nearly a decade hiatus. By the time they performed 'Perfect Lines' live in Chicago, they had just released 'Unmanned,' an album that marked their return to the music scene. This album, full of vibrant energy, showcased their growth while retaining the heartfelt essence that endeared them to fans. The February 25th show at the Metro was a sold-out event, bringing together old fans and new. Signs of their enduring popularity were evident, as the intimate venue thrummed with excitement. Interestingly, 'Perfect Lines' captures their signature blend of melodic punk and emo, resonating deeply with the audience present. It’s a testament to how these indie rock pioneers have continued to impact their fans across generations.
