What is it with the ton of manic bands that seem to be popping up at the moment? Maybe it’s a sign of the times, but there seems to be shouty pop bands coming from every direction the last few months. This is in no way a bad thing, as the UK scene in particular seemed to have a shortage of them. But now they are everywhere.
And What Will Be Left Of Them? arrive in a similarly deranged fashion. The guitars immediately set the tone for what is to follow, pulsating in and out, seemingly never really sure what they should be doing. You wouldn’t think the vocals would still have the ability to take one by surprise after that, but they do. Lead singer Heather snarls through her words with the kind of urgency not usually seen outside of a festival toilet queue.
This is the kind of thing that it’s nearly impossible not to move to. Sure, it might not be the most melodic thing in the world, but it’s certainly fun, for the little time it lasts. Barely two minutes later and it’s over, everything suddenly feeling just a little too quiet.
