We live in a disposable age where everything we love happens in an apocalyptic burst and if you\u2019re not there the first time round you can always catch it on the reunion tour a few years later. But that\u2019s all been said before so, I can\u2019t be bothered to type it up again. Just type \u201cYour Demise farewell tour\u201d into google and you\u2019ll find every side of the argument, but for tonight, it\u2019s <strong>Pure Love<\/strong>\u2019s turn to say goodbye to their fans.<\/p>\n<p>The sole support for this evening were canadian born, <strong>PUP<\/strong>. Fresh of the back of a headline slot at Live at Leeds and an impressive booking at Groezrock, they were well into their road cycle and it showed tonight in their set. They took very little time in talking to the crowd except to drop the C (not Canada) bomb a few times and drive the band\u2019s name into everyone\u2019s head, which they need not have done as the music itself was enough to do so. The set itself was driven by the band\u2019s (fairly) recent self titled release that took an altogether different shape in the live format. The record is well produced and recorded in itself, but live the band really seemed to really come into their own, the gang vocals seemed all the more present and the music seemed more aggressive somehow. For it to really make sense you have to have heard the record and seen them live, both of which I recommend you do. <strong>PUP<\/strong> are definitely ones to watch; their aforementioned impressive bookings and a solid album and live show to back it up mean they won\u2019t be support slots for farewell tours for much longer. (4\/5)<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>My friend once told me that after he saw the Head Automatica video for <em>&lsquo;Graduation Day&rsquo;,<\/em> he had to immediately get in his car and drive around listening to <em>&#8216;Worship and Tribute&rsquo;<\/em> so that he could remember exactly what Glassjaw meant to him and the capabilities of their front man. On one hand, seeing <strong>Pure Love<\/strong> was sort of akin to that feeling that my friend had told me about all those years ago, it made me want to listen to <em>&#8216;Orchestra Of Wolves&rsquo;<\/em> as soon as I got home, which I did (well the next day). On the flip side to this though it also made me wish that I was in fact a <strong>Pure Love<\/strong> fan, the dedication that Frank and Co demanded that night was incredible and above all, amongst <em>&#8216;The Power Of Love&rsquo;<\/em> cover, it looked like a whole lot of fun. I think we sometimes need to remember that this thing called music, however much we protest, does not belong to us. It belongs to the people that make it and if they want to change their direction then who are we to stop them, not that <strong>Pure Love<\/strong> would give a fuck if you tried to stop them. So perhaps I prefer a different sound to the band<strong> PL<\/strong> became, but I can still appreciate the fact that there was a room full of people who were prepared to start a crowd surfing circle pit, erect a human pyramid on stage and wilfully carry their beloved Frank Carter and Jim Carroll numerous times around the room. All I can say is that they will surely be missed, and as the infamous front man put it, they\u2019ll be back \u201cwhen the world is ready to pay attention\u201d.
