Kristine Rommel with Iron Core Banned
On February 1 at the Signature Saloon, Iron Core Banned opened the night with a punchy, straight-ahead hard rock set that immediately grabbed the room. Their tight playing and gritty edge warmed up the crowd fast and set a solid foundation for what followed. Scotty Austin, former lead singer of Saving Abel, took the stage next and delivered a powerful, high-energy performance that leaned into both experience and raw intensity.
The pairing worked well—two hard rock acts feeding off the same no-frills, loud-and-proud energy—making the show feel cohesive, heavy, and unapologetically fun from start to finish.
