Crash Club @ AMMA - The Review
Scotland's finest up and coming electro rockers Crash Club played a breathtaking, late night set at one of Edinburgh's finest indie venues last month. The venue was of course AMMA and the band really brought the place to life. The set was fully instrumental which was surprising considering all their releases to date have featured lyrics and vocals; many also have strong, stadium-like choruses, think "Joy", "Jawbreaker", "Recondition". However the instrumental approach at this gig brought the songs to life even more and put an emphasis on the strong dance nature of the tracks. It also made you realise the great melodic hooks, perhaps demonstrated best in the penultimate track in the set, "Joy", which was quite simply sensational to witness live and probably the highlight of the night. The set itself opened with "Good Beat" and was certainly well received as anything and the new tunes ("Outro" and "Go-Kane") were also first class and give you a fine snapshot as to where this band is heading. These were mixed in well with the oldies such as "Tesla" and "Jawbreaker". All in all, the Crash Club live experience is definitely something that you need to catch and catch it soon; you won't be disappointed.
