LIBERTY REFUSE/ALL FEAR OF FEAR 1 IN 12 CLUB BRADFORD Sunday 3rd December 2006 When arriving at the 1 in 12, I’m always struck with the good atmosphere. I made straight for the bar, Sam smiths cider is always a winner! I found some chairs and waited for the bands to begin. First up were Fear of Fear, it was my first time seeing these guys but it will not be my last! First thing to hit me was how tight the rhythm section was, thumping bass and split timing on the drums gave this band a back bone of steel, then the guy on guitar - fast buzzing, but as crisp as fuck! If I had the talent to play the axe this is how I would want to do it! Last but not least the vocals. Now to me Sarah sounded great when singing alongside Colin, when she and John were part of Conflict, but she takes a well deserved centre stage, angry and passionate but still in perfect harmony with the rest of the band. Like I said first time I have seen these guys and it won’t be my last. They should have a myspace site soon , so keep them peeled. Next came my big fuck up of the night. I came to check out Refuse/All but in my haste to interview Liberty missed all apart from the last three songs but my partner said “they were excellent” and of that I have no doubt. I was lucky enough to grab a few words with Alex their lead singer. He came across as a decent guy, a lot of people may have thought that he was just a replacement for Dave Floyd, but this could not be further from the truth! With all new songs, which you can hear on the CD ‘Have A Happy Holiday In Guantanamo Bay‘ the tracks are all quality, but the ones that stick out to me are the title track and ‘Oh For Fox Sake’ (being a geriatric sab myself). This is available from ALEX_REFUSE@YAHOO.COM or visit their website at www.refuse-all.tk Their next gigs in the future will be with Toxic Reasons next April 20th to 23rd 2007, which will take place in Edinburgh, Leeds, London and last but not least Andover. If you have any questions about gigs I’m sure Alex will help you out. But most importantly, check them out live! And don‘t be a twat like me and miss them! Then came Liberty. Like Refuse/All, these guys mean it. Intelligent and passionate and with a sense of realism in their lyrics! And they could not help a little dip back into the past, with the Crass classic ‘Punk Is Dead’ which was alright by me. These are one of the best bands I have seen for years and remind me why at the age of 40 I still love this music with all my heart! They finished the set with a fine tribute to the much missed STIG, fucking perfection. I spoke to the band whilst Refuse/All were playing (twat!) and like Alex, they were a breath of fresh air! Much needed in my humble opinion. One comment that stuck with me was “stop the bitching in the scene because the energy is not being aimed in the right direction” wise words. These guys have an album coming out and a 7 inch single (yes vinyl) I believe being distributed by Steve DIY (Gawd help em!!- PDC). To find out more you can contact them on www.myspace.com/LIBERTY2005 and www.LIBERTY-TK. As with all the above bands get out and see them live! Last of all came the Inner Terrestrials of which we saw about 3 minutes, due to the shitty train timetables, but although I missed most of their set, it was fucking brilliant to see Paco, back where he belongs, behind a drum kit! The mans a god! The end of a strange night for many reasons, but a great one, cheers! Martin Von Loser. |
