Varials show started with Boltcutter slam/brutal death metal band from Eugene, Oregon opened with a raw, no-frills approach. Short bursts of aggression established the baseline for the night. They played debut LP “Still Broke”. The crowd took a minute to warm up, but the energy in a pit started to built up.
Heavy Hitter followed with a heavier, more groove-driven set. Crushing sections gave the audience something to lock into, and the pit began to open up more consistently.
The Florida band pulled from their latest EP Coming To Terms, released in late 2025. Tracks from the record translated well live, leaning into dense breakdowns and reinforcing the shift into a more active pit.
UnityTX came on stage and immediately shifted the energy. The Dallas band, blending hardcore with hip-hop, brought a different kind of intensity — almost like a huge party with your friends, driven by movement and attitude.
They delivered songs from their latest album Somewhere, In Between…, including “Enjoy That Show” alongside hit tracks like “ROC SH!T” — and the crowd clearly ENJOYED THAT ROC SHOW.
Varials closed the night in a packed Sidestage room. Touring behind their new album Where The Light Leaves, the band delivered a tight, no-frills set focused on heaviness.
Tracks from the record, including the title track “Where The Light Leaves” and “I’ll Find the Dark” landed hard. The crowd stayed fully active from start to finish, with constant movement in the pit, multiple stage dives, and no real slowdown between songs.
