G O L I A T H SHAKES UP CHERRY STREET STATION
By Zach Haberern
Show happened May 1, 2026.Deadlocked Productions brought another heavy hitter of a show on May 1, 2026 when they invited Mantle, Goliath, Clamfight, and When the Deadbolt Breaks to Cherry Street Station for a night of absolute mayhem and bone rattling riffs.
I was lucky enough to be able to make it out to check out Mantle and Goliath as both acts absolutely decimated the stage with their rawring sounds.
Mantle took the stage as the lead vocalist, Aaron Freeman, brought an instantly commanding presence, repping a golden mask while his band explodes with a grimey intro.
I was thrilled to be able to check Mantle out for their first show at Cherry Street Station, a now legendary punk venue that caters to original music. Don absolutely slays in tone on the bass, laying down the grounds for what will make your face go “OOH” (You know the one) accompanied by a guitarist of many genres and talents. Their drummer, Chris Cia, ( Who you will also find in Carried By VI and Local Hero) kept it in the pocket and the set kept the audience headbanging.
G O L I A T H took the stage next and instantly pounded in my gullet with earth shattering sound that could have pushed over the trains that would pass by every now and then, which would be followed up by the age old tradition of the Cherry Street patrons flipping off the train car patrons.
