YOUNG WIDOWS & EMMA RUTH RUNDLE

YOUNG WIDOWS & EMMA RUTH RUNDLE

Young Widows headlined two shows last week at Saint Vitus celebrating the 10 year anniversary of, arguably, their best record Old Wounds. Coinciding with the tour is the release of their Decayed album, collecting odds and ends spanning their first four LPs. They have been an absolute favorite band of mine since they formed from the ashes of Breather Resist. I had the pleasure of directing their video for King Sol off of Easy Pain. I always make an effort to see them when they come to town. Emma Ruth Rundle opened the show with an intimate, mostly acoustic, set. Young Widows blasted through Old Wounds and a three song encore spanning their other three releases. Hope you enjoy the photos, if you haven't checked out their music before, you absolutely should. If you've never seen them before, do not miss another opportunity!
