The Promise Ring Live Performance of 'The Promise Ring' in Milwaukee
The Promise Ring had recently reunited for a series of live performances, including this show in Milwaukee on November 30, 2011. This concert occurred shortly after they released 'Wood/Water' in 2002, marking one of their last studio albums before a long hiatus. By 2011, fans were excited to catch the band’s heartfelt blend of emo and indie rock once again, showcasing their enduring impact on the genre. Interestingly, 'Wood/Water' was a stylistic departure featuring more melodic elements compared to their earlier work, hinting at the band's evolution throughout their career. The energy in this live performance reflects their meaningful connection with fans, stemming from earlier classics like 'Nothing Feels Good' and 'Came Out Swinging'. It's a nostalgic celebration for those who grew up listening to their poignant lyrics and catchy tunes.
