Young Kings

The one redeeming highlight of this show has to be YOUNG KINGS. A designated blackout begins this band’s debut gig. They remind everyone of very early Gallows. The demented, but astutely plugged in, vocalist is always ready with a ranty shout in a ‘junior Carter’ manner. Why it could almost be 2005 all over again. Lyrics are spat with rage, eg “the voices scream, family disease”. The forceful juddering shock effect of the guitar slingers also impresses. It is obvious that most of the paying public have travelled to support Young Kings. They pitch themselves up close to the stage. “Sirens” seems to be the song that this impressive melodic hardcore band are most proud of. A magnificent start, hopefully more to follow.
