Anyway, In The City this year was pretty great. Not one low...except being momentarily stranded in Piccadilly (big thanks to Charlotte for ultimately rescuing me).
Rupert & The Robbers were one of the bands I managed to catch for £free, at the slightly disorientating time of 12:30pm (I went during my lunch break, how cool). They're instantly catchy from the words ready, steady, go.
Hats consists of lively guitar riffs reminiscent of Good Shoes and vocals not disimilar to Hot Club. There's a point in all of their tracks that sticks in your head. For Hats it has to be the line "...the value of the house went down, down, down!" before the boys (Rupert, Ivor, Laur and Joe) launch into a storming troop of Aaahs. The guitars and drums then go on to tumble down, down, down in a suprisingly melodic and "danceable" manner.
Rupert told us on Monday that Bad Hour was about those bad days we all have. This song would certainly improve any bad day of mine, it's unreasonable to say it wouldn't! The guitars and vocals are so damn catchy, it's a wonder the song hasn't become an epidemic along with this terrible cold we've all been having recently.
Ringing Chambers cavorts around your head like a litter of puppies, with cleverly entertaining lyrics, delivered with staggered precision, just in case you aren't paying enough attention "Shooting people with my bb gun/Outside the corner shop".
