Movements at The Fillmore in Detroit

Movements brought their deeply emotive post-hardcore sound to The Fillmore Detroit, but the night belonged to the openers just as much as the headliners. Scowl set the place on fire with their unrelenting energy, and Citizen delivered their best set yet, making this one of the most well-rounded and electrifying concert lineups in recent memory.

Scowl opened the night with a relentless set that proved why they’re one of the most exciting bands in hardcore right now. Kat Moss was an absolute force on stage, commanding the crowd with a mix of snarling intensity and magnetic stage presence. Tracks like Shot Down and Psychic Dance Routine ignited the pit, and the raw energy they brought made it impossible to look away. Their sound, blending punk aggression with alt-rock flourishes, hit perfectly in a live setting, making it clear that Scowl wasn’t just an opener—they were the act to watch.

Citizen followed up with a set that felt like a defining moment for the band. Having seen them before, this was easily the strongest performance they’ve put on. Their mix of brooding alt-rock and emo was perfectly executed, with songs like The Summer and I Want to Kill You hitting with full emotional weight. The band sounded tighter than ever, and the crowd was completely locked in, singing along with every word. There was a noticeable intensity to their set that elevated them beyond their usual melancholic atmosphere—it felt like they had something to prove, and they delivered.

Finally, Movements closed out the night with a performance that was as heartfelt as it was sonically powerful. Patrick Miranda’s vocals carried an emotional weight that resonated through every track, particularly on Daylily and Cherry Thrill. Their live sound felt immersive, drawing the audience into each lyric and melody. While their set was filled with passionate singalongs and dynamic instrumentals, the energy had a hard time matching the sheer chaos Scowl had unleashed earlier in the night. Still, Movements gave a performance that left fans in their feelings, capping off a show where every band had something special to offer.
