Furnace Fest was spectacular again! My video recap and photo album explain it better than I can do in words. But as I am addicted to ranking everything, here are all the artists I saw at least three songs from and how much I enjoyed the sets. This is but skewed because I saw SDRE and Elliott last week, and if I hadn’t, they would have almost certainly been #1 and #2. But Thrice’s "Illusion of Safety" set was perfect!
