Airheart @ Bootleggers, 21st Dec

“Airheart’s singer Jacko snaps enough strings to require three different guitars to complete the set tonight, but to be honest it’s not the world’s biggest surprise. Pounding and muscular, the set is all heft and crackle, doorstep-cut slices of raucous punky fun, ragged enough to sand concrete but with enough melody to keep it all swoopingly airborne. With this amount of energy coursing through it, a couple of broken strings is getting off lightly.”
