Great Job! @ Metro Social, 25th Feb
“Great Job! power up tonight to land nothing but heavy blows, an epically weighty set of gigantic songs powered by fluctuating emotions and a roaring sense of savage, dark wit. A party and its aftermath all at the same time.” Gallery Listen
“Beth Seymour & The Lizzies fizz and crackle with energy, high in speed and song and, frequently, emotion. Making music to move you physically is one thing but making it just plain moving at the same time is another, and this set nails down both. Mostly sunny, occasional thunderstorms.” Gallery Listen

Blake Williams @ Metro Social, 25th Feb
“Blake Williams’ sharp two-piece setup rings like a bell in this room, giving razor-edged songs room and height to swing and swoop around. Always a pleasure to see, but tonight it’s extra levels on all levels.” Gallery Listen

Bugg Music @ Enmore Hotel, 22nd Feb
“Bugg Music’s wide-smiling punk is pointy and angular, dancing its head off and poking you in the kidneys. It’s the best flavour of bubblegum coupled with the spiciest of peppers, a joy and a burn, a blast in both fun and temperature.” Gallery Listen

The Moids @ Enmore Hotel, 22nd Feb
“The Moids are paint thinner and barbed wire, braces and bristles, but are cut through with an immense vein of good times. It’s snotty and spiked, sure, but while you walk away bruised, you go with a bloody great big grin to boot.” Gallery Listen THE MOIDS DEMOS by The Moids
“domesticated incels’ pyrotechnic noise is built around the most unnecessary of instruments, seven-string guitars and slap bass. Somehow – somehow! – it works like a bloody charm, angry and giddily mad, rattling and bubbling and biting your ankles, a vicious little goblin of a set designed to draw blood and leave marks.” Gallery Listen

GVSHER @ Vic On The Park, 22nd Feb
“GVSHER are all sharp edges, finely-honed angles and glinting corners. It’s precise and it shines like the edge of an axe, a smartly-constructed set that loses its temper, regains its self-control, then stabs you in the face anyway. It squalls and it soothes and it soars and I am now murderously impatient for every one […]
