You’ve gotta hand it to The Smith Street Band – they’re riding a hell of a wave and have been for some time now, and they can not put a single foot wrong.

They announced a second show for Wednesday, after Friday night sold out, and they almost managed to sell that one out too. They also continually pick out amazing support acts: Melbourne’s Apart From This kicked things off with some slower, surging punk riffs that brought people in consistently throughout the performance, before Great Cynics, who, hilariously, sounded as chavvy as The Streets, took to the stage and produced a performance worthy of a headlining slot. The band’s blend of carefree punk was fun, catchy-as-all-hell, with songs like Waster really getting the crowd moving and picking up the momentum for what was to come.

Toronto’s PUP, again, put on another performance that could’ve easily seem them heading the show. This reviewer hasn’t seem a band perform so tightly in a long time – their vocal harmonies were pitch-perfect and timed brilliantly, while their hooks were just so easy to enjoy. Their biggest fans all crammed their way toward the front and made it their mission to shout the band’s lyrics back at them, with most songs coming from their 2014 debut (it is incredibly difficult to believe that’s all they’ve got considering how good they sounded). They’re going to continue doing big things, so keep an eye on them.

The Smith Street Band introduced themselves like people mightn’t have known who they were, before launching into Something I Can Hold In My Hands, which had everyone losing their shit from the get-go. Of course, that song seeped straight into Surrender, which you couldn’t help but grin at when the entire room was surging as a collective and shouting the chorus lines back at a thrilled Wil Wagner. Wipe That Shit-Eating Grin Off Your Punchable Face also produced a laughable roar of approval. There are plenty of moments throughout the set where Wagner allowed the room of voices to sing the song for him, which was a great thing to do considering the relatable nature of the lyrics. Don’t Fuck With Our Dreams, Young Drunk and I Love Life capped off another amazing set from the boys, and it’s obvious their run of form won’t be slowing down any time soon.
