 Just Made it in by the skin of my teeth, just as
i was getting my camera out, Gwen Stacy were about
to make some noise, A christian Metal core band
from Indianapolis,USA. The set has alot of bass
all the way thru, to some complaints of the crowd(well
from the girls toilets so i hear), the set is filled
with energy but sadly its pretty much by the numbers
metalcore, ten a penny if you will, a catchy chorus
every now an then but disapointingly for this bunch
of nice lads this doesnt carry them past the first
two rows of the crowd, there pretty raw and show
some promise, maybe abit more time on the road will
carry them to the back of the room.
 Next up is Lable mates to gwen stacy are Poision
the well another metalcore band from the US, more
of the same really, altho the crowd seemed more
respondant to PTW, some soild drumming and tight
guitar work and more audible vocals, quiteing
down when they need too, the band seem to have
a solid core of fans here tonite, that has a circle
pit of two nearer the end of the set, its a great
set full of energy and the band feeds off it and
leave the crowd in somewhat of a frenzy, more
fans collected at this gig then.
 BEWARE OF FLYING STICKS! is what is taped to
the kick drum, what it should of said was BEWARE
OF FLYING VOCALISTS, near the end of I'll Go Until
My Heart Stops, brock lindow decided now was a
good time to test the theory of human flight,
he made it to the 3rd row, right over my head
infront of the stage. This is a fantastic set
from a band who have been going for 15 or so years
and from the way they bounced, head banged, ran
around the stage they show no sign of letting
up, Crowd Participation seems to be the aim of
the game tonite as the crowd regualry fills in
on the vocals and for one lucky fan whos name
i cant remember, got to sing Destroy the map on
stage with the band, once in life time for that
guy.many of the songs has the crowd jumping fists
in the air and theres even a wall of death(thought
those were outlawed), the crowd is buzzing by
the end of the set as they finish off with slit
wrists as the encore, the crowd is spending its
last bit of energy singing along, a good gig from
a experienced band and from which the support
acts can learn from. great night!
Gwen Stacy 2/5
Poison The well 4/5
