Exciting North Carolina band Wednesday shook the foundations of a sold out Metro Theatre on Wednesday night. Coming off the back of their excellent album in 'Bleeds' from last year, an enthusiastic and excited crowd greeted each song with great fervour. Last here in 2024, they played a solid chunk of 'Bleeds' and we sang along gleefully to each song. Songs like 'Wound Up Here (By Holdin On)', 'Elderberry Wine', 'Townies' were definite standouts but it was all pretty great. The band's previous album in 'Rat Saw God' was my favourite album of 2023. And although we didn't hear every song from that superb record, no 'Bath County' sadly, we still got great songs like 'Hot Rotten Grass Smell' and 'Got Shocked'. Wednesday are a really impressive band with great synergy. They are led by the inimitable Karly Hartzman, who is fierce and passionate. Funny and endearing. She has tender monets but also will scream her lungs out on songs like 'Bull Believer' and 'Wasp', which closed the night. A great night of pure rock and roll fun from one of the best bands on the planet.
