This is Nottingham

BOUNCING back and forth like a hyperactive concoction of Enter Shikari (minus the annoying electro element), The Automatic and hint of recently disbanded Reuben, this quartet are as urgent as an elbow to the bridge of the nose.

Opener What's Your Poison creates a sound that swings with punk rhythm that is dangerous as it is contagious. That quartet may draw in comparisons to bands like Hadoueken but the foursome set themselves a sound that is both unique and riveting.

Where the foursome blossom with precision and beefy sound they shine lyrically as well on Hey Woman! Which a chorus that yells 'I never listen but in my defence not a single world you said made sense', it is almost impossible not to get sucked in by this blinding debut.

Rating: *****
