Deacon Brody proved that sometimes, big sounds can come in deceptively little packages. Despite being a three-piece, the punk rockers delivered an explosive set filled with undeniably catchy choruses and folk-tinged, festival-ready melodies that managed to bring a little of the sunny summer evening from outside to right on stage.
