The Acorn are back and better than ever. With a new line-up - losing a keyboardist and gaining another drummer and back-up guitarist - their former soft melodies have been replaced with a harder rock emphasis. They played a fantastic set and undoubtedly left with many new fans. A lot of new songs were played, and it's safe to say that their next album will be a good one. But older songs like "The Flood Pt. 1" and "Crooked Legs" got a massive response as well. The Acorn appeared refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to rock. The set had a slightly sombre tone, though: they announced another member, Howie Tsui, will be leaving the band.
