When: April 6 2010

He’s had the same haircut for years now and his impressive voice never seems to change, but Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer still manages to unleash album after album without any apparent decrease in talent. The songs stay emotional and true at heart and it’s a testament to how great of a songwriter the frontman has become. Critics may point fingers and claim pop punk is dead, but to Avary and his fans at The Opera House, it’s actually not.
