Acres are young and enthusiastic which comes across well in their set, with lead vocalist Ben Lumber engaging with the crowd throughout. Lumber’s vocals are formidable, both on record and during live performances, which is something that can set a band apart from the competition. More importantly, it helps in giving that all important energy boost to the heavier songs in their repertoire. Acres’ set is laced with dashes of melancholy and moody riffs pound underneath the melodies from start to finish. There’s sadness and anger as well and plenty of it, the kind of emotion that greatly empowers the furious melodic hardcore that the band excel at. There’s a lot that current bands could learn a lot from Acres, which is what I call “doing it right”.
