REVIEW: The Fears / Renton @ Old Brown Jug, 19/03/08

Review by: Tom Donally

Two local Bands, Saw The Fears supporting The Maybes? a few weeks back.

They came on to a decent crowd at the Old Brown Jug. Lauching straight into 'Promises'
Then came: 'Whispers'
'Black To Blonde'
'Victim'
Then they slowed it down with the powerful 'Surface'
'Memento'
And to finish, Their best song, the awesome 'Impact'

I am really liking this band at the minute, they seem to have a great balance, that many bands don't have. Very powerful lyrics, and good quality music.

After 'Impact' The Fears left the (would say, but there ain't one) stage. To be Replaced by Renton.

Not heard a lot by Renton, and their sound isnt really my cup of tea. With a Hard Rock/Electronica sound.

They played a 30-40 minute set to a vastly reduced crowd with a mixed reaction.

I shall be watching them as support for The Rough Charm on 4th april at the Bandstand in Hanley, Where i will be able to get a better judgement of them as a band.


Special Thanks to The Fears for their co-operation and details of the set list.
