If you haven't heard of these guys then you must have been living under a rock for the past few months. They released their first album little over a year ago and already they have a massive following. Their song lyrics just roll of the tongue and definitely make you want to dance, especially with tracks like 'Undercover Martyn' and 'Something Good Can Work'. I would have to say my favourite song is 'Eat That Up It's Good For You' and acted like a complete fangirl jumping up and down with my friend when they started playing it. They played a few new tracks at their gig as well, including one which they wrote only two days before! I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed we were in the upper circle and not down in the crowd, my friends came out after looking like they'd been swimming in their clothes they were so drenched in sweat. Frontman Alex Trimble completely ignored the massive sign saying no crowd surfing when he asked if everyone could get on someones shoulders because it would be really cool if the crowd could build a human pyramid kinda thing. Really looking forward to their next album and to seeing them play at Reading in the summer.
Indie-electro band from Oxford, I really liked these guys maybe because they remind me a lot of Foals (who I'm in love with at the moment) with all the percussion they used. I'd say they weren't the greatest support act because it's not the kinda music to get the crowd hyped up but after listening to their stuff some more on it's own I would go see them again. Really love the track 'White Horses' which you can listen to below.
At the gig I didn't quite catch the name of this band through the heavy Irish accents (accents are bloody brilliant) nonetheless I really got into their stuff. At the moment I'm really liking the track 'Glitter' which manages to be super chilled with a fairly heavy guitar line at the same time and I would reccomend checking out 'Goose' and 'Tip The Can'.
