Poison The Vein @ Frankie’s, 10th Jan

“Poison The Vein bring with them a deep love for Iron Maiden but, unlike your average fan, they have musical chops to match. Every rhythm and thump here is pumping out of its own forehead, the guitars weave and slice and saw, and – the really hard bit – there’s a vocal that belongs front and centre in Satan’s favourite opera. Pounding.”
