The supergroup made up of early 2000s post-punk legends, L.S. Dunes, came through The Strand in Providence their nationwide tour with support from Teen Mortgage. The duo, based in Washington DC, opened up the show and performed a gritty, energetic punk set that got the crowd moving. Nowadays, a lot of popular punk music includes a mountain of production and instruments, so that made the stripped-back set involving only a guitar, vocals, and drums, refreshing. Teen Mortgage’s energy was a great warm-up for the main act of the night, L.S. Dunes. They are a genuinely fun band to see perform. It’s clear that the band has chemistry and enjoy performing together. The raw energy is contagious between Anthony Green shaking around the stage and Frank Iero shredding on the guitar. The bands music is catchy, noisy, and perfect for a mosh pit. If you’re looking to blow off some steam and hear some incredibly talented artists jam together, this is the show you want to go to.
