Our latest music adventure took us back to the MTelus this past Saturday night for one of my favourite new Canadian bands, BRKN LOVE. I first got to photograph them last November (check out the photographs by following the link), but missed out on a show that they played here in June. So, I was really excited to find that not only were they returning, but they were going to be playing at the MTelus as well. BRKN LOVE casually hit the stage, soaking in the applause and the roars and chants grew louder with every second, until singer Justin Benlolo, with an outstretched arm, let out a primal scream, which the crowd responded to even louder. The guitars roared to life, the drums began to pound and the band broke into their hit song Dead Weight, which was originally released as a single back in 2021 before being included in their most
recent album, Black Box, which was released last year. That was quickly followed by their hit songs Like A Drug and Complicated before we were ushered from the pit. The rock didn't stop there though as the party continued with some more songs, including a terrific version of the Black Sabbath classic, War Pigs, before they brought the curtain down with their first big hit, Shot Down, to the roaring approval of the crowd. I said before that BRKN LOVE was on an upward trajectory. Sure, they were still the opening act, but it won't be very long until they'll be the featured band on the MTelus stage. And I hope that I'll be there to shoot it. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/125sec, ISO 6400 at 28mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/125sec, ISO 6400 at 24mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.
