Review by ION Indie Magazine Guest Journalist Alexis Uzelac
Some envision their “Sweet 16” as a rite of passage that often includes one’s
classmates grooving to the vibes of a hired DJ, with copious amounts of cake and
glittering gifts serving as a backdrop. Not this girl--I attended the “Back to the Future
Hearts Tour” concert on Sunday, November 15, 2015, at the historic AGORA
THEATER in Cleveland, Ohio. My birthday wish? Besides the apparent awesomeness
of spending the night with NECK DEEP, SLEEPING WITH SIRENS and ALL TIME LOW
(c/o my rockin’ aunt SHARI PETTIGREW)—I wanted to try my hand at being a music
journalist. Enter ION Indie Magazine and a certain “fairy”…and voila! My birthday
wish was granted in the form of this review!

The Agora Theater has hosted some legendary bands/artists in the past, such as KISS, BRUCE
SPRINGSTEEN, IAN HUNTER, PATTI SMITH, THE CLASH, IGGY POP and DAVID BOWIE. Each band in the “Back
to the Future Hearts Tour” were different in style, although they are all Pop/Punk bands. And they all put on
a phenomenal show!
