The recently reunited Rival Schools hit Baltimore last night on their abbreviated East Coast tour. Spurred on by the surprisingly enthusiastic crowd (have I seen too many shows in DC?) and the Obama victory the night before, the band blew through much of their 2001 release United By Fate. Front man Walter Schreifels (ex-Quicksand, Youth of Today) didn't appear annoyed by all the members of the audience calling out songs from any one of his former bands - unlike say, yelling out a Minor Threat song at a Fugazi show; bad bad idea. As reported on Brooklyn Vegan, the band had been featuring a cover of The Smiths' "How Soon is Now", a song Quicksand famously covered in the mid-90's.
