Belsonic 2010 - Fighting With Wire
Describe in a tweet: new material passes the litmus test.
What happened: After a fairly triumphant performance at Belsonic two years ago, Fighting With Wire return to the stage with a new album under their belt, and everything to prove.
So perhaps it's evidence of a certain nervousness that the set is padded out with some of the older, more familiar material, whilst the new songs are hesitantly paraded in front of the audience, taking their first clumsy steps like Bambi in the forest.
They needn't worry though: sounding like a mixture of Nirvana and classic Weezer, one gets the impression that Fighting With Wire's new album is going to take them to some very interesting places indeed.
Fight Club: Whilst the old songs still pack a punch, the crowd are hungry to hear new material. Perfect time to get a new album out there, don'tchathink?
Down To The Wire: Last time they played Belsonic - it rained. This time - it rained. Sort it out, guys!
Belsonic rating: 7/10
