CONCERT REVIEW: Boris – Uniform Live at Brooklyn Steel

11.04.25-Brooklyn Steel

I’ve been fortunate enough to see Uniform at least once a year for the past five years and they just keep getting better. The current lineup with two drummers and someone dedicated to the synths is a wonderful aural pummeling that I truly enjoy basking in.Continue reading →
