Trinity battle of the bands
The Academy

KILLER CHLOE started their set with a galloping intro which exploded, with lots of distortion and a very weird post punk sound filled with spark! I found it new, exciting and adrenaline-packed. They had this way of making you feel you'd just knocked back a pint of Aftershock through a straw! They were arrogant, loud and downright irresistible! This number was called 'High Song'.
'Stop' was their second song and what I really loved in this was the little riffs and extremely appealing bass on top of supremely sweet harmony. This number is quite dramatic and punchy and Peter performed some great stuff ..boards and his voice was really special. With lots of amazing changes in dynamics, from an upbeat verse into a screaming chorus they never let you out of their spider's web of mesmerising music! A brilliant song!
Next they played 'Sanderson's', which for me stood out because of a great change of key in the middle. There's a haunting refrain with sweet harmonic 'oohs'. Then suddenly you are taken back to the MAD screaming chorus!
'Coin box' was a crazy song with a vibrant chorus and this was followed by 'Feargal rock'. By now the crowd were hopping and pogoing and full of life and the atmosphere was up to 90.
With cute riffs and weird discords going on, this lot was a band I would just love to hear more of. I feel I'm going to see them again because they have something for sure! Peter, the singer raised the roof and left his keyboards to concentrate on giving the final chorus his all!
