After a successful run across America last winter, The Rock Resurrection Tour is making its way to a whole new batch of cities. On Sunday night, the tour returned to New England, this time with a show at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut. The co-headlining tour features Skillet and Theory of a Deadman, and kicks off with one more great band, Saint Asonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Asonia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saint Asonia frontman Adam Gontier is best known the original frontman of Three Days Grace. Adam’s cousin Cale Gontier plays bass, while Cody Walkins in on the drums. Guitarist Mike Mushok is currently busy touring with Staind, so Tavis Stanley, from Art of Dying and Adelitas Way, is handling the guitars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kicking off with “Better Place,” their 8 song set featured a little piece of all aspects of Adam\u2019s career. We got songs off of Saint Asonia\u2019s self-titled debut, as well as tracks from their recent pair of EP’s Introvert <\/em>and Extrovert, like “Devastate” and “Above it All.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In the middle of the set, we got a pair of Three Days Grace songs, first with \u201cNever Too Late,\u201d the majority of which was performed solo by Adam, with the crowd singing along. They then played Three Days Grace\u2019s mega-hit debut song, \u201cI Hate Everything About You,\u201d followed by a cello-less version of the Apocalyptica song \u201cI Don\u2019t Care.\u201d I’ve long felt Adam is one of the greatest rock voices of his generation, and “I Don’t Care” has always been one of his best performances. The way they’re doing it is a cool arrangement to get to hear him sing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Saint Asonia released a new version of their song “Wolf,” featuring a guest appearance from Skillet frontman John Cooper. While he didn’t join them during their set, we still got to hear a rocking performance of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band had a great energy, and sounded great. While it is great to hear the Three Days Grace songs the way they should be heard, the only thing disappointing in their set was that we didn\u2019t get to hear more Saint Asonia songs. Hopefully before too long, Saint Asonia will come around on a headlining tour, and we\u2019ll get a full night of their music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
