KEEPING SCORES
Before tonight no one knew what Keeping Scores sounded like. I'd even hazard a guess that the band were unsure after their reluctance to commit to comparisons to other bands. That is to be expected before your first ever gig though and, with no songs online, you wouldn't want to state similarities to other bands to then sound nothing like them and leave people disappointed. After a minute of their performance tonight the band could rest assured that disappointment was not likely.
There were glitches. Ash on lead vocals managed to, due to throwing himself around the entire venue, pull the lead from his microphone on occasion and Alex's guitar had some feedback issues, but these are to be expected from a debut gig. On the positive side Ash's voice is quite incredible and the songs are filled with enough opportunities for 'Woahs', hand-claps and finger-points to keep any melodic hardcore fan happy.
I spent the night recording the entirety of their set on a video camera as Ash's mum had wanted to see the show but couldn't make it. The masses of fun and lashings of humility really add to this confident first outing for Keeping Scores. Here's hoping that his mum was impressed.
