Thoughts etc - Shields Up!

I had the pleasure of seeing the Edinburgh-based hardcore band Shields Up at Henry's Cellar Bar in Edinburgh last night (great wee venue by the way), and I was blown away by them. Very very raw, they play every song at blistering pace, throw themselves around the stage, into the walls, into each other, and they absolutely tore the place down last night. Lead singer James is a mainstay of the Aberdeen music scene, having previously played in Deadloss Superstar, Tar, Radio Lucifer and Christ knows how many others. And guess what? They just happen to be playing at the Moorings next Saturday, along with Chief (from Liverpool), my favourite local band Escape To Victory, and Shiner!


Get yourself down to this one, hardcore kids, because it has the potential to be a fucking blinder.

Have a listen, eh?
