Something Corporate reunion & New Found Glory ('Catalyst' set) brought emo nostalgia to Asbury Park
You couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful summer weekend in Asbury Park as thousands of millennials in 2000s-era pop punk/emo shirts descended upon the boardwalk to relive their younger years at at least one of two shows: the reunited Something Corporate‘s first NJ show in over 14 years on Friday (8/23) and their former Drive-Thru labelmates New Found Glory (who SoCo namedrop in “I Want To Save You”) playing 2004’s Catalyst in full for its 20th anniversary on Saturday (8/24). They both headlined sold-out, packed shows at The Stone Pony’s outdoor summer stage, with the waning orange supermoon in the sky and the waves of the Atlantic ocean crashing in the background as 4,500 people reveled in the memories of an era that nostalgia is at an all time high for. The bars and restaurants on the boardwalk followed suit, blasting Warped Tour classics out of their windows before and after both shows. The shows weren’t officially tied together, but the timing of the back-to-back nights was perfect and I’m sure I’m not the only one who made it a point to go to both.
