Luke’s Cover of

Circa Survive – Act Appalled

The first song I ever heard was Act Appalled. Trying to sing as high as hurts. One of my favorite 2015 moments was Ryan from and I singing with Anthony at in Doylestown. There were a lot of different tabs and chord sheets for this song but none of them seemed completely right.

This song is from their first full length album Juntura. I remember hearing Act Appalled for the first time in Jon Kussmaul’s parent’s living room. I thought it was a girl singing when I first heard Anthony Green’s vocals singing over the stereo.

Anthony Green Singing

Act Appalled

looked like a crazy man when he was singing? This is from the tour back in 2011 I think at the Croc Rock in Allentown.
