Summer Blood @ Mr. Falcon’s, 12th Aug

“Summer Blood, for some reason, keep apologising for being too loud. Which is like a Brit apologising when you bump into them – what they actually mean is “get it together you cockwomble, I’m awesome and you’re a tool”. In this, they are correct about being awesome, since the tunes are long on distortion and short on length, packed to the gills with fun and daftness. They finish – I think – on “Knuckle Up”. Either I’m right, and it’s a ferocious wee beastie full of teeth and muscle (where the recorded version is lo-fi and scratchy), or I’m wrong and it’s still a bloody brilliant track with widdly riffs and screaming. So much fun.”
