Finally one is finished! As promised I'll get the Bad Religion review up ASAP!
And now on to the review:
There's nothing quite like an undeserved rock swagger to spoil a nice evening, that is unless you have the music to back it up! And Van Tramp really do have the music to back it up.
London's Borderline was full and a sweaty mess, the perfect venue for a bit of rawk!
They played a little of everything, from their album, from the upcoming single 'Hope and Pray', to an acoustic number at the beginning of the encore.
I was very impressed with the performance and the band was mixed to perfection, allowing front-man Tim the chance he deserves to shine on vox! A strong performance sounding almost pitch perfect to the record - I saw many people mouthing along and telling their significant other how much they 'LOVE THIS ONE!' I'd also like to give props to the guy on the organ because it's just something I can't resist - a little bit of rock organ can only improve a song in my eyes (and a little MORE never hurts) Oh yes, that and cowbell!
The band were very professional, very tight musically and sporting an (apparently) effortlessly cool old-school rock 'get-up' they really put together a great show.
Impressive to say the least - I urge anyone who gets the chance to check them out live - especially as front-man Tim promised to buy everyone a pint (a promise he insists he's good for).
