To this day, I'm not sure how Ours got thrown together with the rest of the groups at Harlan's birthday bash. Imagine having to stand up in the front row for hours suffering through terrible pop-punk bands just so you could have your front row spot for the headliner. The setlist was all album material (probably due to the intended audience) but the boys handled it masterfully. This was Pit's second PUBLIC performance (not counting the modeling agency party), and he kept the band tight.

I apologize for the sound quality, personally I wasn't that impressed with it. Certain bands are easy to tape when they play electric, but it's never really the same technique twice. Some songs, like "Fallen Souls," sound great- Race's baritone guitar definitely adds more depth than bass or a 2nd guitar would.

Other than that, it's a pretty standard setlist and performance. High energy and good times. I'll give it 3 stars, but only because I'm a stickler for quality.
