On February 8th, they will play This Feeling’s Big in 2025 at Leed’s Brudenell.
Let’s check them out:
Dream Out Loud
The Etchell brothers and Smith’s guitars stray from the euphoric Danny McNamara to the ecstatic work of The Edge before Smith’s impassioned vocals catapult the single into the ether.
The Snow
The growl lingering on Smith’s vocal recalls Kelly Jones's early brilliance. Meanwhile, the guitars jangle with a ferocity that is yearning to break free. It’s a rock n roll tonic as old as time and, when done this well, is as fresh as ever.
