Not going to lie, I was expecting IDENTITY FESTIVAL to be a wankfest of the utmost proportion. And for all intents and purposes, it was, with neon and brostep ruing the day. But considering the worst that could've happened when you unleash a cavalcade of geeked-up 20-somethings onto an amphitheater housing three stages of aggressive electronic music and a clearly overwhelmed security staff? At least my mother wasn't calling me on Sunday to ask if the festival I spent my Saturday at was the one on the news at Great Woods where all the kids overdosed on Twisted Teas and rave pills.

Shit show is really the only way to sum up the scene for last night's HARD Tour stop at the House of Blues. In the above video you can peep Rusko, who has garnered quite the buzz for himself. Even though it was Crystal Castles that closed the show, Rusko is the reason it was hella sold out. The audible distortion isn't because it was recorded on a 3-inch video camera, but because it was that friggen loud.
