H2O

With two decades worth of experience under their belt, Toby Morse and co really know exactly how to conduct their live show so the fans really have the best time imaginable. A H2O show puts them very much at the centre of the operation, the setlist has been designed with them in mind and is meant to be a heady, raucous show that attacks all the senses at once.

Playing a large amount of material from the acclaimed 2008 release 'Nothing to Prove' this is a big pleaser for the crowds and a clear favourite for the band who perform this music with a huge amount of bravado. The flashing lights and crunching guitars may seem abrasive at times however it really does lock you into the moment and you begin to forget everything else outside the gig venue. By the time the band is ready to wrap up with 'What Happened' the opening instrumentals are barely coherent over the crowd's roars and by the finale the cheers are deafening as Toby has launched himself into the front row and is jumping along with the fans.

Named after the street that The Simpsons live on, Evergreen Terrace are one of those pretty heavy post hardcore bands that I stumbled upon about ten years ago when I was sent an mp3 of their cover of the 80’s classic “Maniac”. This band make quite a large sound with their distorted guitars, played through amps turned up to eleven, and the screaming vocals of Andrew Carey, and the machine gun tight drums of Christopher Brown. Everything that he plays is so tight, holding this machine that is Evergreen Terrace together. Tonight they play some of their most recent material in the form of songs such as “Dead Horses”. A song that this audience really get behind in the form of huge mosh pits, with tattooed and pierced metalcore fans throwing the limbs around aimlessly, running head first into each other. Looks painful, takes me back to the days of when I was into heavier music heading to a rock club, under aged. (Aren’t I a rebel), listening to bands such as Evergreen Terrace. The atmosphere this evening is huge.
