With Fuzz Club returning this Thursday, here’s a quick review of the musical delights in stall
for you if you choose to spend your hard-earned student loan visiting the best live/club night in Sheffield.
Situationists
This Sheffield foursome are pretty standard indie fare to be honest. Twangy stop-start guitars? Yes. Catchy backing vocals complete with random oh-oh’s, woah-oh’s and ba-ba’s? Yes. Heavily accented singer? Yes. Uninspired? Probably. Still, the melodies are OK and they could easily be the next Milburn.
Future of the Left
If I were to review this band purely based on their name I’d say they are an ‘edgy’, ‘political’ yet utterly pretentious Cardiff three-piece. After listening to them, I’d say they are an utterly brilliant, politically charged (though in an un-Bono-like way), unpretentious Cardiff three-piece. Highlights of what should be a stunning set include ‘Small Bones, Small Bodies’, a savage, unrepentant punk-rock assault and ‘Suddenly It’s A Folk Song’, which can count among the few modern political diatribes that ISN’T about the Iraq War!
