Our reviewer was impressed. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
There are some bands that simply demand to be seen live, with albums not able to truly contain the scale and scope of their sound. The Reytons are very much one of them.
It is there in the chugging guitar phrasing of tunes like Low Life and On the Back Burner, and baked into the vocal expression and lyrics of frontman Jonny Yerrell. Uninvited, which came late on, is harder and darker - packing a brutal punch as well as summing up The Reytons' breakthrough story with a message to the music industry: "We dropped a ball in a stocking and swung it round the f***ing room until we battered the problem. And now we’re on the inside.”
Yerrell returned to that theme several times during a blistering 45-minute performance in Liverpool, with more of a statement than a question: "All Reytons aren't we?"Friday night highlights at Sound City New Music Friday was Sound City at its very best, showcasing not only dozens of emerging artists but the buzz of central Liverpool itself.
But at least one evening where the thrill of discovery is spread across lots of smaller spaces should always be part of the Sound City blueprint.
