I had the misfortune to see this band playing in support of the mighty Coil in July 2004. Variably described on the night by people around me in the crowd as "6th form grade indie rock", "teen angst rock with Shadows style guitar leads" and "a load of bollocks", I have no idea what they were doing performing live anywhere, let alone on the bill with Coil. Robin Rimbaud's Scanner project had good and bad moments, but this one only had bad moments when I saw them. As I remember it, the biggest cheer they received was when they announced their last song.
Totally uncoordinated, sounding like none of them had ever played their chosen instrument until stepping onto that stage, and looking decidedly older than the adolescent lyrics suggested they ought to be, I really hope their releases are up to more than that performance.
