On Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026, Mercury Music Lounge was the place to be for hard rock fans as Boston’s rising powerhouse Above Snakes tore through Lakewood with a performance that proved they’re a band on the brink of something much bigger.
Touring alongside Shallow Side and headlined by No Resolve, the night delivered a stacked lineup—but Above Snakes made sure their set left a lasting mark.
Hailing from Boston, Above Snakes brought East Coast grit—from the moment they stepped onto the stage, there was an intensity that filled the room.
Their sound—melding heavy riffs, sharp hooks, and emotionally charged lyrics—translated flawlessly in a live setting.
Frontman Johnny Skulls commanded the stage with confidence and authenticity. His vocals carried grit and melody in equal measure, and between songs he connected naturally with the crowd—no forced banter, just genuine appreciation for the fans who showed up early and loud.
A Band That Connects Offstage Too
One of the highlights of the night wasn’t just the performance—it was what happened after.
Meeting Johnny in person confirmed what his stage presence suggested: he’s a genuinely cool, down-to-earth guy. He took time with fans, posed for photos, and made real conversation.
In an era where accessibility can feel rare, that kind of interaction matters. It builds loyalty—and Above Snakes are clearly earning it city by city.
A Must-See Live Act
Sharing the bill with Shallow Side and closing out the night under No Resolve’s headlining slot made for a powerful lineup, but Above Snakes held their own effortlessly.
They didn’t just warm up the stage—they elevated the energy in the room and set a high bar for the rest of the evening.
If February 25th at Mercury Music Lounge was any indication, Above Snakes are not just another touring band passing through town; they’re building momentum, winning over new fans at every stop, and proving that their music hits even harder live.
If you get the chance to see Above Snakes live, take it. Based on their Lakewood performance, you won’t regret it.
