| The
Resistance pretty much defy description. Quite possibly the most
exciting new band to come out of Cambridge in aeons, they manage
to simultaneously both bludgeon
and hypnotise you with their huge wall of sound generated by guitars
and laptops, and images of kaleidoscopes, asymmetric patterns and
mushroom clouds projected onto their backdrop. Tonight's set comprised
one non-stop continuous avalanche of sound that periodically mutated
into and out of a version of Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray",
ably assisted by Matt Abysmal from Khe Sanh Approach on vocal duties,
who boasted fine shades and an even finer smoking technique...
Having seen them live twice now and been blown away both times,
we think this is one local act that could, and should, go on to
bigger and better things - here's hoping. |
