Rather than the ambience created when a dodgy duo under the collective title Jim and Bob play keyboard covers at your local, here there was an air of professionalism. Maybe it was the Mean Fiddler, an irrefutably prestigious venue for unsigned Bands to play, or maybe the number of AnR milling aroundthe bar. The Fresh Sounds showcase has become a regular affair at the Mean Fiddler, offering unsigned artists the opportunity to prove their worth on a decent stage.
First to do so were Bromley quartet Snish. With this being their biggest gig to date, its unsurprising that the Band seems somewhat nervous, however frontman Josh exudes a confidence which has been a constant focal point in earlier shows. Their blend of poundingly prominent bass lines with an extremely talented guitarist in Andrew Matthews gave them a promising edge. Compared with their confusingly diverse earlier shows, a much more honed style was displayed, finally giving way to where the Bands strengths lie.
The better named Honeycube should've felt quite at home on stage given their seven year track record of gigging, yet vocalist and guitarist Joe endearingly declared his nervousness from the outset. A faster paced and all round heavier set almost hinting at a Hardcore style ensued to a rapturous reception, despite occasional wobbly notes and mis-harmonisation between Honeycubes vocal duo. Their extensive period together certainly shone through and alludes to something quite special.
The members of Chapter were bouncing around amongst the audience all evening, and looked only too pleased to finally spring on stage. A blistering opener sets the Bands musical talents in context, complemented by their not unreasonable confidence. Scott (drums) seems rather fond of his bass pedal which makes a royal a ppearance during a solo, yet the fact remains that Chapter is an extremely tight foursome where all things rhythmic are concerned. Just as the mundanity started to creep into their rather generic style of Metal, the Band launched into Remember, which bears a remarkable resemblance to the seasonally-apt Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney. A particularly receptive audience was impressed by tonights showcase - and not irrationally either - there really is an inkling of talent across South London.
Mucho Love
