The Oxford based group were the support for another Oxford outfit, namely the fashionable; Foals.They didn’t disappoint the sell out crowd as they blasted into a set of euphoric indie pop. From trumpet players to two drummers, they were switching their sound and moving freely between different gears. They were your archetypal bunch of outsiders, making uplifting pop which is perfectly pitched for a mainstream crossover. I am not saying they are a cynical cash in either on the likes of Vampire Weekend or Wild Beasts, there is much more to them than scene crashers. I will be interested to see where they go from here as I imagine they cause a stir at the festivals and be a big autumn draw.
