‘The News (Live at The Roundhouse)’ captures the essence of a tumultuous period for the three-piece band, evoking a sense of suspense and nervous energy. This haunting yet alluring sound is reminiscent of the early releases of Black Country, New Road, mixed with the raw energy of early The Wytches.
“Chilling instrumentation, introduced by soft drum beats and intricate guitarwork, is perfectly complemented by the soft yet hard-hitting vocals, creating a mesmerising and emotionally charged listening experience that captivates the listener from start to finish.”
