Frogfest Review
As the night draws to a close I am eagerly anticipating the band with such an enchantingly cool name – Heretics and Lovers. All of sudden the lights go low and a black and white film is projected on the back wall behind the band, you can tell these guys mean business and that their music will not be for the faint hearted; it’s time for some real noise.
As soon as this band begins with their awesomely atmospheric beautiful blur of post rock/hardcore I am totally enchanted. Their film and their stage presence is just beautiful and their music – sublime.
It is so rare to find a band of such calibre and when you get to see them live, well you better count yourself lucky. Their sound is much like that of 65 Days Of Static, Set Fire to Flames and to a certain extent Mogwai; but it’s heavy – really heavy in parts. Passion oozes from this band at every interval, the drumming really sings out and the vocals cut through the stunningly atmospheric building of guitars to deliver a sound that is truly mind blowing. It is so great to see a band that clearly live for what they are doing, for me it just adds to the whole experience; live performances are all about setting a scene and captivating an audience by giving them a unique experience which this band do very well.
Everything just blends together so seamlessly – the vocal harmonies set against this back ground of soft post rocky guitar layering then cut through with loud brash drumming is just well, I hate to say it, but for lack of a better word – perfect.
My favourite moment of the whole gig was something personal, I am not even sure if anyone else noticed, but I did. Elliot stepped up to the mic and as he did all the lettering from the film projected across him, as though he was something out of the Matrix. I know it sounds strange but it was a really emotive moment for me, all the lighting was just perfect and the music was at the precise point in the break down.
I love this band and I loved this gig, for me this is a band that you must see, end of. - Lotte Lawerance - Simatik Promotions
