Orlando’s Conduit hosted an evening of alt-rock and pop-punk on Sunday night as Senses brought their first headline tour, “I’m Still Breathing,” to Florida. Supported by MVSSIE and Florida natives Negative 25, the night was s a stunning showcase of the next generation of artists.

MVSSIE opened the night with candor and courage. Mid-set, the band’s singer paused to confess she’d had a rough week fighting off a cold and allergies and said that, despite her fear of needles, she got an injection to make Sunday’s show a reality for her fans. While her vocals were clearly impacted, her commitment was unquestionable, and the audience responded with nothing but support. And shout out to MVSSIE’s drummer, whose energy and technical skill gave the performance the lift it needed and helped keep the crowd engaged.
Next came Negative 25, a brother duo that performed with the confidence and polish of a band used to much larger stages. Their synergy was immediate and undeniable. With a sound that fused classic emo hooks and modern alt-rock energy, they delivered a performance that felt stadium-ready.
Closing out the night, Senses took the stage for what was clearly a meaningful stop on their first-ever headline tour. While their performance was heartfelt and lived up to their “emo friendly, punk curious” motto, there’s still some fine-tuning needed before they can command the same level of polish as their openers. That said, their potential is clear. With continued touring and growth, Senses are poised to build a strong foundation in the alternative scene.
