Whilst they are a tight unit and definitely help thaw things out in the ice cold room their sound is probably too familiar; in other words, they wear their influences on their sleeves so much that they almost sound like they\u2019re aping them off. Regardless, the four-piece are definitely an entertaining outfit that opens the night in full swing.

Even though the band do keep things interesting with a ska rhythm here and a mind dizzying solo there, it does feel as though each song suffers from the usual punk problem that each song dissolves into the same mould but that\u2019s probably a miniature triumph for the band. (3\/5)<\/p>\n<p> Despite being fairly quiet this year, tonight\u2019s headliners <strong>Random Hand <\/strong>make such silence mute when they drop the curtain and start playing to their audience. The Ska-core kings from Leeds cause nothing short of a skank-mosh hybrid frenzy amongst their fans, who bounce off of each in utter carnage during <em>\u2018Anthropology\u2019 <\/em>and dance the night away when the band drop the \u2018life so fragile\u2019 messages of <em>\u2018Bones\u2019<\/em>. The unthinkable riddle of when this constant buzz will stop never shows it\u2019s face as the night carries onward, in fact the only idea that comes to mind is if this moment, the here and now is a dream; the climax of <em>\u2018Anger Management\u2019<\/em> featuring a crowd surf from lead vocalist\/trombonist Robin Leitch sure enough brings one back to reality and provides the dire answer to this question. <strong>Random Hand<\/strong>, let\u2019s hope you play more shows in 2013!
