Tonight Alive—London Koko 26th November 2014 review

Starting with the ‘The Edge’ a song featured in the new movie ‘The Amazing spider man 2’ the Australian band, Tonight Alive opened their  second London show on the 26th of November.

The band had chosen ‘Chunk, No! Captain Chunk!’ and ‘The Summer Set’  to open for them, a wise choice as most of the crowd had heard one or more of the songs.

Many of the crowd had seen the band since they had came on the music scene 7 years ago (2008) had said that it was one of the best gig’s they had been to. “Having first seen tonight alive a few years ago in a very small venue it is amazing to see the evolution of them. A really fun gig!”- Jenny Mercury (crowd member at the London Koko gig).

The band before their own gig’s had widened their fanbase by touring with bands such as ‘You Me At Six’ and ‘All Time Low’.

All together the band never missed a beat and even brought tears to some of the fans eyes during the song ‘Amelia’ which was written about a childhood friend of the vocalist Jenna McDougal On an interview Jenna revealed that Amelia died in a ski trip accident. She felt regretful that they had lost contact so she wrote the song but still felt like she "owed her so much more".

All together I would definitely go see the great band again and hope to see them playing bigger gigs in the future and maybe headline a festival one day.
