Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls on Night 2 at Lost Evenings VII - Concert Photos

One of the best things about Frank Turner's Lost Evenings VII in Toronto had to be the fact that we got to see four Frank Turner performances. This second night show as all about the first five albums, Sleep Is for the Week, Love Ire & Song, Poetry of the Deed, England Keep My Bones and Tape Deck Heart.

That's right, a full headlining set focused on Frank's first five albums with some deep cuts and many stories. "To Take You Home", which is about a girlfriend from Paris who dumped him on her doorstep, "Substitute", which came with the statement, if music was the food of love I’d be a fat romantic, one of my personal and philosophical favourite "Glory Hallelujah", a song about atheism and human-power where everybody can bounce, and "Photosynthesis", an all-time Frank-favourite to close the show with a wall of hugs.

Please check out my previous coverage of Frank Turner from performances at History in 2023, at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre in 2019, at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in 2018, at Massey Hall in 2016, at The Danforth Music Hall in 2016 and at TURF back in 2013.

NOBRO at Lost Evenings VII - Concert Photos

NOBRO rock. They're Canadian, they're from Montreal, and they rock. A NOBRO show is a powerful thing to witness and even better if you dive right in and be a part of it. Frank called them his new favourite band. I suspect that many people walked away from their set with the same feeling.

NOBRO played a fantastic main-stage set at Frank Turner's Lost Evenings VII in Toronto. Their set featured awesome tunes like "Marianna", "Let's Do Drugs", "Set That Pussy Free", "Eat Slay Chardonnay" and they closed with a cover of MC5's "Kick Out the Jams".

I caught the band live for the first time a couple of summers ago at Hillside Festival. Those pics are here.

Northcote at Lost Evenings VII - Concert Photos

I caught my first Northcote performance a decade ago in 2014 and I've been hooked on his tunes ever since. 

Northcote put on a great main stage set at Day 2 of Frank Turner's Lost Evenings VII in Toronto. His earnest, passionate and powerfully-delivered tunes are a gift to the ears.

Check out my previous coverage of Northcote from his 2016 performance at The Danforth Music Hall, 2017's set at Lee's Palace and that 2014 performance at Sound Academy.

And please take a listen to a couple of tunes below.

The Honest Heart Collective at Lost Evenings VII - Concert Photos

The Honest Heart Collective from Thunder Bay Ontario were the last band to perform on the Nick Alexander Stage on Day 2 of Frank Turner's Lost Evenings VII in Toronto.

I got to see this band several years ago at Canadian Music Week and I was impressed with what I saw. Check out that coverage here.

All these years later, the band has been honing their skills and put on a super powerful set of great rocking tunes. I recommend checking these guys out in their recorded output and their live show. It's well worth your time.

The Wilderness at Lost Evenings VII - Concert Photos

Kingston, Ontario six-piece rock band The Wilderness performed on the Nick Alexander Stage at Frank Turner's Lost Evenings VII in Toronto. I loved this performance, my second time getting to witness a performance by this band.

They're a solid, hard-rocking band and they put on a high-energy show. I'm feeling bad that I missed them at Riverfest this year, but happy that I caught this show and their 2019 performance at Hillside Festival. My pics from that show are here.

Give a listen to the below and check them out performing near you.
