Hi lo mon amigos. Straight in no troubles!
Review:
Forever Living Dead. The quality of the band was way beyond what you would suspect for the first warmup band at this sort of gig. I was really impressed with the complexity of the songs they were breaking out, multi-layered, strong lyrics against shredded rock guitar riffs. Comparable to the harder stuff which Funeral for a friend have produced.

Next up. They Sink Ships. Powerful and thoughtful lyrics against a pop punk drum line hurried along by high speed guitar riffs, firmly positioning themselves in the pop-punk mold, and they pull it off well. So though you may not find anything which sets them apart from the pack. Theyre enjoyable to listen to, and surely thats the point? The song "Tired Eyes" is a quality tune and you can feel a bit of a Say Anything-feel to the song whilst not changing from their upbeat pop-punk style.

Main band! Not Advised. I was a little disappointed at first when the band came out, as that was when we realised that the main frontman Jim couldnt sing due to a problem with his voice, so another member had to step up to the plate. It’s a testament to the quality of the tunes that they still sounded as good whilst the main frontman wasn’t singing them. 'The Worlds Not Ready' a song someone like the Lost Prophets would be happy to have in their setlist. A pop-punk anthem that vibrates around the academy as its sung back to the band by the crowd, "i found a way to keep you coming..keep you coming back". The rest of the set just as quality, filled with party anthems and brough alive by the energy within the band. Quality.
