Two kinds of Indie: The Murder Capital at SWX Bristol; Gengahr at EartH Hackney
I’ve been to two concerts this week: one incredibly good, the other a bit disappointing. It’s prompted the thought: how many indie bands were at their best with their first album? All those ideas that built up over their youth … Continue reading
