The Underground Stage
“Good Pash kick off the first shows of King Street Crawl downstairs at The Bank and promptly saw through everyone’s heads with a buzzsaw set of jangling, but razor-sharp pop smashers. Caustic wit you don’t mind getting burned by.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157700575674654″]
“Shogun And The Sheets have yet to fully emerge into your consciousness. When it does, this radioactive mix of soul and raw energy is going to fry every circuit in your head. Prepare.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157670816610867″]
“Straight Arrows kick off King Street Crawl with a *blistering* lunchtime opener, their first of – count ‘em – four gigs today. As opening salvos go, it’s going be hard to follow, and the slightly bleary crowd here at Wayward’s are now fully awoken. Upwards!” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157699282291011”]
“A Swayze & The Ghosts are just full of the bonkers. So twitchy it’s like they’re plugged in, playing for their very lives. Such a great band to watch and hear, there are fewer bands that will give you this much bang, no how matter how much buck you give them. Fucking awesome.” Facebook | […]
“Dive Bell are driven by synths, but also by something deeper and more submerged that that. This is precision and dream-state, all sorts of evocative, the kind of cinema that makes you want to look away but that you can’t stop watching. It’s really bloody impressive.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157672697280448″]
“Buzz Kull – one man, one mic, one synth, absolutely no bastard lighting at all – is as dark as the picture. As dark as Gary Numan, in the middle of a field, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night – that level of dark. Impenetrable.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Just Breathe bring funk, a trumpet, and no small degree of RHCP to Sunday night, as technical as a maths lesson in points but which soars like a blimming bird at others. Throttles wide open, on all counts.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157670317016227″]
“The Small Press have more than a touch of the No Doubts about them, and really what the hell’s wrong with that? Big bloody songs, delivered with a roaringly large voice, and everyone’s having a damn ball. Grand, like a church ceiling.” Facebook > | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157700027507864″]
“What a fantastic noise Swedish Sensibilities make! If you love Bon Iver or obscure UK indie legends Fanfarlo, or – best of all – the cello, this wonderful, gentle noise is for you. Which, basically, should be all of you. Just lovely, fur-lined stuff.” Facebook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLUNveKSDKk&feature=share [flickr_set id=”72157698757899161″]
