The Underground Stage
“Most of Fangz – except their loonhat singer – come from The Lockhearts, so from note one it’s face-blistering rawk all the way. It very much feels like leashes have been broken, and boundaries have been jumped – this is wild, and untethered, and off any sort of chain.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“There are them days. When everyone takes their stupid pills. When the dipshits just TRY to fuck up your day. For no good goddamn reason. The soundtrack to your righteous revenge will be Cap A Capo.” Facebook | Instagram
“Hatakaze really just have *all* the muscles. The tunes could beat you up with one hand tied, the band could beat you bloody without sweat, and the whole general vibe of the thing basically sounds like someone’s getting stomped. Really, really like this band.” Facebook | Instagram
“Great to see Naughty Boys again, and it’s just like the last time, but stronger – fearsome attitude, an absolute lack of fucks given, all turned into tune. Raw, lovely, aye right.” Facebook | Instagram
“Adrian Eagle has so much game vocally it’s a tournament all on its own. Singing tonight for a bunch of corporate sellouts (including me), he completely levels the room with both medium and message. It’s a hell of a thing to see, hear, and feel, right in the guts. Explosions, stars.” Facebook | Instagram | […]
“Bugs are the sound of triumph, precisely the sound many of us need tonight. Triumph over adversity, over getting dumped, over stupidity, over whatever ails you. On days like these, I love the sound of this band. It sounds like… victory.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Scabz are not a band, they’re an opinion – strongly held, righteously delivered, and how about you go and get fucked while you’re at it? In other words, they’re perfect.” Facebook | Instagram
“Spit Chewy have been popping up on bills left, right & centre, and they are undeniably growing the right muscles in the right places, and have confidence, charisma and song in all the ways. Watch with a hawk-like gaze, they’ve got chops.” Facebook | Instagram
“Fait Accompli are a load-bearing wall. Take them away and – surely – the entire structure collapses. A tiny few bands get to the point where they sound this effortlessly, searingly, good. Music as magic.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
