 Well im firmly one of the oldest people in the
room tonight, first on were Ronnie Defo, and there
bass player got off to a bad start giving it some
some solid energy, unfortunately the strap on
his bass couldnt take it so it snapped and he
had to change his bass guitar, and the singing
got off to a dreadful start as well. it was awful
but it got more melodic as it went on, the music
had some decent catchy moments but it was also
quite repetative, but atleasr they gave a good
account of themselves.
Next up was Turbo Wolf, there a dirty sounding
rock band, the 1st song sounded something like
CKY would do, plus the guitarists chosen sound
was very familiar sounding to CKYs also. the vocals
while suiting the music were pretty poor and gravelly,
the drumming was simple, and the songs were fairly
short, there was some synth and bass guitar but
i couldn't hear either. it was an energetic show
and the music was decent various styles employed
while keeping to that dirty sound.
 Bringing the early night to the close, was headliners
My Passion a goth/emo band, while setting up i
concluded that i was either surround by retards
or surrounded by a bunch of excitable girls, i
surmised that it was a case of both, they kicked
off there set with legs and arms flailing, the
vocals were a mix of screamo and melodic, more
melodic punctuated by the screamo parts of the
song.The songs they played were punkish in nature
but something the kids in the venue was dancing
to. Some of the songs they played included ,Thanks
for Nothing, Play Dirty, Never Ever Land and day
of days, of which the crowd knew all the words.
I enjoyed there set and watched there show from
the back of the room as the Academy 3 wasn't exactly
full due to Bring me the Horizon were playing,
but My passion will be playing there in january
on the kerrang relentless tour next year, a stage
they'll surely give a good account of themselves
on going on tonights performance they cant really
fail to win more fans.
Ronnie Defo – 3/5
Turbo Wolf – 4/5
My Passion – 4/5
