What a line-up we have tonight. Each band is fuelled-up and raring to go! These Monsters and Wintermute are finishing their joint UK tour tonight in London and we feel more than privileged to be able to promote such fine bands at the Metro tonight.
And So I Watch You From Afar are four, friendly, Irish lads who emailed us late in the day about this gig. They were super friendly over email, honest and passionate. These are three key qualities we love in the bands that play for us. Having heard some songs on Myspace, we were fairly impressed but not as blown away as what we were as they hit the stage. Their music is a unique brand of the best bits of Isis with a hint of epic melody a la Oceansize. They make a glorious wall of noise and transport us away from the sweaty dark club that is The Metro into a stadium band like trance. They are deserved of very big things and can't wait to see what they do when they next hit the UK.
YouMeTheSwitch are up next and by far one of our favourite bands of the last year. They are impressively tight, succinct and captivating as a live band. They played dates with Japanese hard-hitting post-rockers LITE last year. As the crowds pour in, they are caught by YouMeTheSwitch's glorious sound.
Wintermute and These Monsters have been on tour together for the last week or so. Tonight is their last show of the tour. They both hail from Leeds and they are bother absoloutely brilliant. Wintermute are melodic, catchy, hard rocking and have a great presence on stage. These Monsters are, however, the icing on the cake. They all take the stage unassumingly, no bravado (with a saxaphone player in tow!) but as soon as the music starts they completely transform. They poster delightfully during their off-kilter, noise-infused set. Feet can't help but stomp to the beats and the crowd are head bobbing furiously to the beats.
Another wonderful night at the Metro, everyone leaves fully satisfied! Wintermute and These Monsters will be back later in the year and we seriously suggest you catch them when you can.
