Rock Band Mallory Knox our back after their amazing return early this year to Slam Dunk Festival 2024. On the 10-year anniversary tour of ‘Asymmetry,’ their return just shows how much their audience has grown within that time. The show wasn’t just for the live music but you could sense the pure excitement of the audience meeting up with old friends and bumping into old friends you hadn’t seen since camping outside venues 10 years ago, Talking and catching up on old memories of the band. New and old fan’s coming together for this special reunion. Alongside Mallory Knox tonight came ‘Call Me Amour’ and ‘HRTLSS’

HRTLSS

The grunge rock band HRTLSS takes to the stage. This is their second-ever live show and they blew it out of the water. Their power and energy brought to the sold-out o2 Manchester Ritz. The Fun nature of the band was quick and flowed throughout their opening slot. Having James from Mallory Knox join them on stage during one of their songs brought a surprise element for the excited fans. I am looking forward to seeing the progress!

Call Me Amour

Alternative rock/indie band Call Me Amour will take to the stage next. The pure energy given by lead singer ‘Harry Radford’ didn’t stop him from moving around the stage for one minute. Fans sang back every lyric and climbed into the crowd to get into the action. They were starting a circle bit around him. During ‘Good Day’ Mikey Chapman for Mallory Knox came out onto the stage which again sent fans into an excited frenzy to see two of their favourite singers join forces. Towards the back end of the set, Harry climbed through the crowd again and onto the sound desk to perform from there before moshing his way back to the stage. The set was sort and sweet but kept the evening strong!

Mallory Knox

The long-awaited return of Mallory Knox finally arrives. For some fans in the audience, this is a moment they could only dream of, For some, it was the first time seeing them, and for others, this was a reunion between friends, fans, and the band. Coming out on stage to ‘Ghost In The Mirror’ sends fans into a hand flying and screaming back lyrics to the band. Mallory Knox makes us all feel like we are back to our favourite young adult tracks again. Their flawless playing makes it seem like the past few years since their split was a dream. Mallory Knox hasn’t changed a day sounding just like they did when Asymmetry came out 10 years ago. The raw of the crowd singing back word for word. Jumping up and down and clapping along. Keeping each other safe while a small fight broke out which the band quickly addressed before going back to singing.

Throughout the entire night, you could experience the love the fans still have for Mallory Knox and how much their sold-out show means to people who have come out to see them on this perfect Thursday night. At one point Mikey (lead singer) takes an audience member’s phone who had been waving at him the entire night to announce that the fan had named his newborn daughter ‘Mallory’ after the band. The sounds that came from the audience that night just felt like home again at a show. The band also performed ‘Beggers’, ‘Death Rattle’ and ‘Shout At The Moon’ before finishing on ‘Lighthouse’ with the audience swaging in time and singing back every word before crowd surfing over the barrier. This was such a special evening for everyone!
