There’s something almost unfair about watching Spanish Love Songs open for Alkaline Trio—like throwing a Molotov cocktail into a fireworks display. They don’t just warm up a crowd; they set it ablaze. And tonight, at the KEMBA Live! in Columbus, Ohio, they didn’t just deliver—they destroyed. I’ve seen them a handful of times before, but this was different. This was Spanish Love Songs at their peak, refined and relentless, and somehow, still heartbreakingly raw.
