Raising the average age by probably thirty years we take our position a respectable distance from the stage to the side. Opening the set with ‘1998’ an obscure Binary Finary cover it sounds like they have found their inner Pink Floyd with their prog rock driving jam. Three albums in their playing has matured and after a few tech glitches at the start they relax into what they know best. Catchy indie hook laden rock.
Indie has taken a bit of a hit recently with a lot of sub-par bands leading the charge but I think Peace are heading the new attack. Think the Kooks or Razorlight but good. The songs tonight are catchy with great hooks and the young crowd loved it.
The mosh pits tonight was energetic but polite. We and the few other ‘oldies’ held back from joining it, not because we didn’t have the energy but probably because our significant weight advantage may have resulted in some serious injuries for the little ones.
The new songs sounded strong and the choice tracks from the first two albums sounded great too. ‘Lovesick’ with its catchy chorus and particularly ‘Bloodshake’ with its Vampire Weekendesque riff and staccato guitar were excellent.
A good night out with a band who clearly have a little bit more about them than some of those tagged with the same label at the moment.
Keep on rockin y’all
