    About This Event

    Wage War brings the It Calls Me By Name Tour to Irving Plaza, joined on the bill by Nevertel and Orthodox. Nevertel’s set leans on polished melodies and heavier, rhythmic drive with tight transitions and an emphasis on structure and dynamics; Orthodox offers crossover material that blends modern rock/pop language with prayer texts and communal singalong forms.

    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.
