A last minute show is always a nice surprise for both music fans and bands, but depending on the size of the band, this can vary in attendance. The attendance of tonight\u2019s show however is irrelevant, what matters is the quality of the bands, and from the words of this reviewer, I can sincerely say that those who weren\u2019t there have missed out dearly.<\/p>\n
Playing their first ever show, South Yorkshire instrumentalists Body Hound<\/strong> succeed in keeping eyes drawn to the stage. Their progressive mix of math metal is well honed, especially for a new band. They spiral around the small mountain that is audience and certainly impress without the fear of an avalanche. There are gaps but for a young band there is potential and ideas to be had. Keep an eye on the development of this quartet. (3.5\/5)<\/p>\n Following Body Hound<\/strong> are strapping young Irish indie punks The Winter Passing<\/strong>. Since releasing debut EP \u2018Scrapbook\u2019<\/em> in January, the band has definitely shrugged off any Tigers Jaw comparisons; the influence is there sure but the quintet has managed to find their own identity. Technical difficulties hinder a great set, but over the set\u2019s duration, they plough through to charming heights. The vocal interplay between siblings Rob and Kate Flynn is touching, whilst the music is brash and earnest in quality. With a full length in the works and due for release on FITA Records, there\u2019s no question or doubt that many will be baying in their work. (3.5\/5)<\/p>\n
