The Scream It Like You Mean It tour hit the Henderson Events Plaza on Oct. 22, with rock veterans Story of the Year headlining and Like Moths to Flames, Hawthorne Heights, Set It Off, and I Am King rounding out the bill. In its fifth year, this tour was considerably smaller than previous packages but it was still a pretty amazing night, nonetheless. ...
