Review from Bedford Esquires Headline Show



Having not heard anything from tonight's headline band Showing Tonight before now, you'd have to excuse my feeling of dread as a keyboard and synth pad is placed in the centre of the stage before their set begins, filling me with the worry that I may need to prepare myself for exposure to yet another Enter Shikari-esque electronica-core act. Fortunately, my fears were proven to be misplaced, as I was instead treated to a tight, impressive performance by a band capable of writing brutal yet catchy songs which stick in your head and inspire the best crowd reaction of the night. Far from being overused, the electronic portion of the band is used mostly to provide an atmospheric ambiance throughout songs, with the occasional inclusion of a Faithless style trance keyboard noise. Their singer is a fantastic frontman, again displaying his ability to impress with both a clean singing voice and a much more aggressive scream, along with getting right up in front of the audience and working the pit into a near frenzy. It's easy to criticize a band like this for not stepping more outside of the comfort zone and being a bit more experimental, but when a band is this good at what they do; I honestly don't know why anyone would feel the need to criticize at all.
