Biteback + Revenge of the Psychotronic Man @ Eric's Liverpool. 7th June 2012
UK Subs headlined the night, solid as ever, a powerhouse of a punk band, but that's not why we're here.
Two of the bands on the lower bill tonight have new albums in the pipeline and our interest tonight focuses here.
Main support Biteback are currently at the latter stages of mixing debut album Bitten And Twisted, set for an August release on Antipop Records.
One the newest old venues in Liverpool is Eric's, a place Hocky (below) and Richy (above) remember from the previous generation. As Biteback launch into their set they manage to overcome early technical difficulties and a lukewarm audience to get the crowd moving and the PA rocking. The new album will be start-to-finish balls to the wall punk rock if this live set is anything to go by. We cannot wait to hear it.
Revenge Of The Psychotronic Man take the stage before Biteback and the although a good number of people dwell in the alcoves of the Eric's the place is still filling up as they smash through a set very few people are prepared for. Packing more drive, tempo, lyrics and changes than any of the bands tonight Subs included.
The band from Manchester are about to go into the studio to record their album for TNS Records and look to have a bright future. Andy Davies admits it's a little reality check after the insane reception they received at StrummerCamp the previous weekend but they impress on new turf once again.
