Catch Your Breath Took Over The Fillmore
Catch Your Breath // Not Broken Enough Tour
TX2 // Arankai // Colorblind
The Fillmore Minneapolis // October 18th
Some concerts are fun nights out. Others leave your ears ringing, your heart pounding, and your mind replaying every thunderous riff long after you've walked out the doors. The October 18 stop of the Not Broken Enough Tour at The Fillmore in Minneapolis delivered exactly that kind of experience. With Colorblind, Arankai, and TX2 setting the stage before headliner Catch Your Breath unleashed their powerful blend of modern hard rock and emotional intensity, the evening was a full-throttle celebration of everything that makes live music exhilarating.
Opening the evening, Colorblind wasted no time establishing the emotional intensity that would define the night. Their sound balanced melodic passages with aggressive vocals, creating a push and pull between vulnerability and fury. It was a compelling way to kick things off, drawing the audience into a darker, more emotionally charged atmosphere before the night's energy began to climb. There was a palpable sense of momentum as their set unfolded. The crowd was warming up, the room was coming alive, and the evening's emotional temperature was steadily rising. Colorblind laid the groundwork with a performance that was atmospheric, intense, and brimming with feeling.

Letdown

If Colorblind eased the crowd into the night's darker emotional landscape, Arankai came along to kick the door wide open. The band's set brought a more unpredictable energy to The Fillmore, combining heavy music with a charismatic stage presence and a healthy dose of irreverent humor. Arankai’s frontman, Oscar Porter, commanded attention, keeping the performance lively with playful banter and an approach that felt spontaneous rather than overly rehearsed. The result was a set that could pivot from crushing intensity to a laugh-out-loud moment without losing its momentum. Yet beneath the chaos was a welcome awareness of the crowd. During the performance, Oscar checked on the audience's safety in the mosh pit, showing that high-energy music and looking out for fellow fans can go hand in hand.

As Arankai's set was ending, a surprise awaited TX2’s vocalist, Evan Thomas, as Oscar called him onto the stage for the entire crowd to sing him “Happy Birthday.” Known for their theatrical approach and larger-than-life personality, TX2 transformed the stage into a spectacle of movement, attitude, and unrelenting energy. TX2 has cultivated a substantial online following by addressing subjects such as mental health, identity, alienation, and personal struggles through music that is intentionally dramatic and emotionally direct. The performance had a chaotic, almost confrontational edge, with sharp shifts between melodic singing and harsh screams keeping the audience on its toes. Their frontman brought an unmistakable sense of drama to the proceedings, making the set feel like an event in its own right. “This is the best birthday I've ever had,” Evan screamed as the band ran off stage.

When Catch Your Breath took the stage, the evening reached its centerpiece. The Austin, Texas based band has established itself as a rising force in modern hard rock and metalcore, combining powerful guitar work and pounding percussion with atmospheric synths, layered production, and emotionally charged vocals. The group features vocalist Josh Mowery, guitarist Teddy Herrera, bassist Cianan Madigan, and drummer Onell Hernandez. Its sound thrives on contrast: restrained, atmospheric passages give way to huge choruses and heavier instrumental sections, creating songs that feel both intimate and arena-sized.
Sometimes it's about a lyric that hits at exactly the right moment, a melody that refuses to leave your head, or the feeling of hearing a favorite song surrounded by hundreds of people who connect with it just as deeply. Heavy guitar riffs and forceful drums supplied the punch, while atmospheric layers and Mowery's melodic vocals provided the emotional center. The shifts between intensity and vulnerability are a defining part of Catch Your Breath's music, and the set drew on both sides of that dynamic.
Confetti filled the stage as Catch Your Breath played their final song “Y.S.K.W.” The result was a performance built around the band's strengths: memorable hooks, weighty instrumental passages, and lyrics that connect with listeners through themes of pain, frustration, relationships, and resilience. The combination gives Catch Your Breath a sound that can be heavy without sacrificing melody and emotionally open without losing its edge.

The Fillmore Minneapolis provided the setting for an evening that moved between aggression, melody, theatricality, and genuine connection. The concert had offered plenty of reasons to remember it. Colorblind brought genre-blending melodies, Arankai delivered darker heaviness and humor, TX2 added theatrical flair and confrontational energy, and Catch Your Breath tied the evening together with atmospheric production and emotionally charged hard rock. When the final notes faded and the crowd began making its way out of the venue, the evening left behind the sort of afterglow that concert goers chase: ringing ears, tired voices, adrenaline still coursing through the system, and a head full of moments worth remembering.
