Second out of the traps is Stand Amongst Giants who have travelled down from Chesterfield, a solid blues rock four piece whose vocalist has a decent amount of sandpaper at the top of his vocal range for that classic sound. A Rage Against The Machine bass patch clangs, squalls and slices through the mix leaving space for the guitar as the string section doubles up on classic riff based progressions. Steady drums with ample fills finish their collective sound and I’m getting mildly nostalgic for an old Skid Row mixtape I was given in the early nineties that had their cover of Delivering the Goods on it. I glance across to the ‘Interstate Missouri 66’ sign near the toilets and for a split second feel that I’m an extra in Supernatural. Spot on stuff, this. - Richard McKerron

As the set continued, the band offered plenty of brilliant riffs and huge sound which was particularly noticeable from their song ‘Broken’ which Ben claims he used Led Zeppelin’s sound as inspiration for the track. Featuring massive riffs, a huge solo and a pretty impressive and catchy chorus hook. Rob added that “Ben does riffs that make hairs stand on the back of your neck” showing the talent of the guitarist. - Aiden Woolhouse
