Wage War - It Calls Me By Name Tour
About This Event
Part of Wage War’s It Calls Me By Name tour, this Irving Plaza bill pairs Nevertel and Orthodox with the headliner. Nevertel balances polished melody and heavier rhythmic drive, favoring tight transitions, controlled dynamics and vocal-forward arrangements. Orthodox works within contemporary Orthodox Jewish songwriting—music drawn from prayer texts and traditional melodies—framed for direct, communal singalong over studio polish.
About It Calls Me By Name Tour
The “It Calls Me By Name Tour” arrives at Irving Plaza as a rock/pop bill built for close quarters and loud rooms. Wage War anchors the night with a modern metalcore vocabulary, while Nevertel and Orthodox widen the palette toward electronic rock and heavier, more abrasive textures. It reads as part of New York’s long-running tradition of using mid-size venues to test how new hybrid rock styles land in real time. The most telling detail is the sequencing: contrast becomes the method, not just the byproduct.
