Pulling mostly from his power pop heavy 2013 album MCII, Mikal Cronin and his band were a high energy crowd pleaser. Although some of the prettier elements of his music were shirked in favor of providing more grit, his fantastic melodies were still front and center. Occasionally Cronin even busted out a few of his old garage rock anthems, like the exceptional “Apathy”, which were a welcomed contrast to his statelier new material. – Chris Karman
