Apes Fight Back set the tone for the night and I was kind of hoping that none of the other bands would be as loud as i was feeling a little fragile.
Trojan Horse followed and right from the off they reminded me of Fugazi in their style and also in volume. As there was a lot of shouting and screaming I had decided that in view of my throbbing head I watched from the safety of the bar.
Castrovalva had not played for a nearly a year but this Leeds based screamo three peice band tore into their set like a ravaging Tornado.
Kong obviously have a decent following as most of the people I spoke to had seen them beforehand and they were coming back for more. It's easy to see why. They are a loud metal/screamo band that offer just the right amount of experimental rhythm to keep most people happy. They also look a little scary with their clear plastic masks and red Y-fronts. Sadly they made my headache so much worse than it already was that I had to go to the bar and buy some more medicine as prescribed by Dr Jack Daniels.
All in all a loud and interesting night.
