The Underground Stage
“A broken-down car may have delayed the start of Eeyore’s second show but there’s nothing but accelerator here, the screeching of tyres taking corners on two wheels. Deliciously manic, it’s the best bits of all of the most fun guitars from the last thirty years all crammed into one bottle of soda, shaken furiously, and […]
“Friends Of Friends drop euphoria delivered with varying tempo – plus it seems to be made of some sort of superconducting material that transmits precisely the amount of pleasure they’re taking from playing it direct into our heads. It doesn’t matter if the tone of any given song is dark or off its leash or […]
“GRXCE are impeccably built, yet are never too showy. It’s precisely put together but doesn’t lose any emotional sharpness, shiny-bright and still carrying bags of meaning. Balanced like a fine Japanese blade, it cuts deep without you even noticing.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
