Converge just got done with a run of shows down the West Coast. The hardcore legends were joined by King Yosef, Deaf Club, and Entry for most of the tour. Cult Leader filled in for the last few dates in So-Cal. The tour made its way through Pomona, and there was no way I was gonna miss it. Due to some van troubles, Deaf Club were unable to make it to this final show of the tour. Frontwoman, Sara G. stomped around the stage as the Hardcore-Punk act blasted through their set while Cult Leader mixed a little doom and gloom into their brand of Grindcore. With Deaf Club having to miss the show, Converge went on earlier than originally expected. The quartet chose to focus primarily on 2009's Axe to Fall, while throwing in tracks from All We Love We Leave Behind and The Dusk in Us, while also throwing in a few tracks from their classics Jane Doe and You Fail Me. The band was firing on all cylinders and are still one of the best to do it. Check out the gallery below.
