Braving the Arctic conditions, I thought it would be a good idea to remove myself from the comfort and warmth of my abode and venture to Hitchin to see some rock action happen. Arriving late I miss nearly all of The Grass Is Hairy’s set (sorry lads) – by accident. I do catch the last 10 seconds of their gruff, obstinate punk-core shouting as I make my way to the bar.
Arms & The Man – …Are Nothing But Animals
Arms & The Man deliver three tracks explicitly stating why they’re “doing it like the bands they grew up on”, with ardent, dynamic power. Their new EP, …Are Nothing But Animals, returns to funny town with a truckload of riffs, self-deprecation, arrogant swagger and er…wolf punching?
