What: Punk, Rock n Roll, Thrash Pop

Where: The Macbeth, Hoxton Distillery, London

Last night Hoxton brought the noise and embraced the sound of The Computers. Headlining the night, Screaming Al Kershaw and the gang demonstrated their unique act in promotion of their recently released album 'This Is The Computers'.

The support acts held their ground. First up were Glaswegian rockers 'United Fruit' who did just that, rocked out. Lead singer Stuart Galbraith delivered a solid vocal performance amongst a well constructed set of loud, in your face tunes taken from their EP 'Mistress, Reptile Mistress'.
Aussie dudes 'DZ Deathrays' came second on the bill and, technical glitches aside, thrashed their way through a host of hard hitting drum and noise filled tracks. These party boys sum themselves up pretty well on their website saying; 'Started playing house parties will most likely end at one.' Enough said.

Then...came the men in white. Al, Aiden, Nic and Sonny (above) took to the stage like the pro's they already are, laying down a tight set of Punk n Roll.
Al's cheeky Devonshire charm washed well with the crowd, treating us to some true rock n roll antics by taking to the bar-top guitar in hand and mixing with the crowd. Whether the audience knew the fella's or not, they lapped it up.

Towards the end of the set Al professed '...who'd have though it, dreams really do come true'. With the exposure these Exeter lads are getting, including prime time plays on Radio 1, it seems his statement is undoubtedly true.

The venue itself was perfect for this kind of line-up with it's quirky vibe and slightly grungy feel (according to the ladies loo's 'Hell Is Full Of Promises'). The small and intimate space only intensified the immense sound that these bands created.

From the corners of Australia, Scotland, and dear old Devon, 3 bands came together to create a night of ballsy tunes that did not disappoint, seeing The Computers truly steal the limelight.

Why? Because they are, in their own words, the mother f**king Computers.
