Telekom Street Gigs · 5. December 2010 · Velodrom · Berlin
BoySetsFire
On December 5, 2010, Boysetsfire brought their powerful blend of post-hardcore, punk and emotional alternative rock to Telekom Street Gigs at Berlin's Velodrom. The band delivered huge melodies, heavy guitars and lyrics with a clear sense of conviction, all carried by Nathan Gray's unmistakable voice.
Even in a venue of this size, the night felt focused and immediate. Boysetsfire turned the room into a space for connection rather than distance, moving between anger, hope and cathartic release with the force of a band built for the stage.

About the band BoySetsFire
Hailing from Newark, Delaware, Boysetsfire have been one of the defining names at the intersection of post-hardcore, emo, punk and alternative rock since the mid-1990s. From the beginning, the band paired politically aware and socially critical lyrics with sharp riffs, anthemic choruses and a level of emotional urgency that reached far beyond the hardcore scene.
Vocalist Nathan Gray is central to the band's identity. His voice can shift from restrained vulnerability to raw, full-throated screams within a single song while keeping every melody intact. That contrast is especially powerful live: Boysetsfire never feel polished for the sake of it. Their performances carry the weight of songs written with purpose and played like they still matter deeply.
