The Promise Ring Live Performance of Is This Thing On? at The Metro
On February 25, 2012, The Promise Ring performed live at the Metro in Chicago, marking a significant moment in their nostalgic reunion celebration. Before this show, the band had released their album "Wood/Water" back in 2002, which showcased their signature blend of emo and indie pop, and a more mature sound that diverged from their earlier work. Interestingly, this live recording isn't just about revisiting old hits; it's a testament to their enduring connection with fans. The concert was part of their reunion tour after a decade-long hiatus, highlighting the band's impact on the late '90s and early 2000s music scene and revealing how their heartfelt lyrics still resonate. This gig encapsulated a pivotal slice of their journey, leaving fans both nostalgic and exhilarated.
