Spurs of Rock, 1:40pm

tent goes hardcore...
What happened:
With an
awfully quiet crowd greeting them, Stand Up Guy promise to blow the cobwebs off
of the timid bunch. And that they did! From the first bloodcurdling note, the
cobwebs disintegrate and the crowd loosen up rightly. Hellacious throat
growling and seismic riffage are delivered with a menacing furrow. It just
reminds us why this band are such an enduring force on the Northern Ireland
metal scene.
Things often delve into terrifying doom metal territory, which is perfect when you're a metal head like myself. Stand Up Guy proves metal still has so much life in it yet.
Slip, Sliding Down the Slopes:
When the
guitars start howling, synths immediately run for cover, thus rendering the
keyboards a bit irrelevant.
