I was skeptical about paying $40 for a general admission show but after picking up a copy of Theory of a Deadman’s latest release, Scars and Souvenirs, I knew I had to go!  And it was worth every penny! 

Rev Theory started off the night at the Edmonton Event Center.  Before the show the only thing I knew about this group was their hit single Hell Yeah but by the end of the first song I was hooked!   I loved every minute of their hard rock sounds & Rich Luzzi amazing vocals.  Rev Theory rocked the crowd but also showed their softer side with the haunting ballad Broken Bones about the loss of a loved one.  They closed their set with Hell Yeah and had everyone jumping and ready for Theory of a Deadman.  But before that, the band walked through the crowd selling their CD Light It Up.  I instantly grabbed a copy and have listened to it almost non-stop! 

Theory of a Deadman took the stage and played for over an hour.  The Canadian rockers played a good mixture of their older hits, including Better Off and No Surprise, as well as material off their new release.  They had the sellout crowd all rocking out to Hate My Life and then raising cell phones & lighters for their current single Not Meant To Be.  Tyler Connolly’s vocals were dead on all night and Dean Beck on bass & David Brenner on guitars sounded great.  The band closed out the night with an encore of Santa Monica and Bad Girlfriend. 

Overall this was an amazing rock show to kick off the year with and will be hard to top!
