Band of Skulls – No nonsense, no crowd-pleasing. No facades or fabrications. No pyrotechnics. Let the music speak for itself. Kings of Leon with a female, quirky addition. Dirty riffs. Grungy guitars. Dark, dingy atmosphere created for an un- reactive crowd.
The Black Keys – Flashing lights. Mixing it up. Place the drummer at the front, why not. More dirty riffs. Seductive rock rhythms. Toe tapping, head nodding, melody singing stuff. American rock stars who attract an unlikely diverse audience.
Two up and coming bands who offer something completely unique to the British music scene.
Blunt review, The Black Key's are not an up and coming band they've been on the scene for a long time now....just been working the underground scene. Needless to say there presence at Reading and Leeds Fest reflect this...Main stage basically headling and played before The Foo Fighters.
