Post-hardcore icons Chiodos celebrated 20 years of their debut album All’s Well That Ends Well with a sold-out show at Webster Hall on April 28th. The show featured support from The Callous Daoboys, Emmure, and Hawthorne Heights. It was the band’s first tour in nearly 11 years after they revived for last year’s When We Were Young Festival.
The night began with stunning performances from The Callous Daoboys and Emmure. The Callous Daoboys are one of my favorite bands in the scene right now and were enchanting to watch live. The way they blend a various array of genres in an incredible and cohesive way is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Next was Emmure and I was blown away by how excited the entirety of Webster Hall had become for this band. Immediately as the band got onstage, a gigantic mosh pit opened up in the center of the room and people began to lose their minds. It was one of the most aggressive and largest pits I’ve seen to date and was quite entertaining to watch (I wish I could have participated!).
Before Chiodos took the stage, pop-punk/emo legends Hawthorne Heights delivered a performance full of their classic hits and newer material. The band sounded amazing live and has been on my bucket list to see for quite some time. Hearing “Ohio Is For Lovers” in a room full of strangers united by their love for these songs was honestly one of the most healing moments for me and brought out my inner 13-year-old emo kid.
Chiodos delivered a beautifully chaotic performance that gave All’s Well That Ends Well the proper anniversary celebration. The band played the album in its entirety, ending with their most well-known track, “Baby, You Wouldn’t Last a Minute On The Creek.” Every second of their set was insane, from the energy of the band to the emotion seen within the crowd. My favorite part of the night was when the band performed “There’s No Penguins In Alaska,” which really showcased vocalist Craig Owens’ live vocals and the band’s pure excitement to be in front of such an invigorating crowd.
One thing was made clear at this show: the music that you grew up on stays important to you for the rest of your life. Watching people around me sing their hearts out, mosh, and crowdsurf to their favorite songs and get excited to hear such an iconic album live is an incredible reminder of the community that surrounds so many artists in this scene. Even after all these years, Chiodos was welcomed back with open arms at Webster Hall and throughout the entire tour.
