Lincoln Bands Gig Review

The S. American style band names continued with Suns of Banditos exotically based on some estate over in Bawtry, Doncaster.

Looking like a motley bunch of neerdowell bandits themselves they showed unexpected grace in their playing and plenty of contrast across the band members. While the songs maybe lacked something in structure and variety it was more than made up for in attitude.

This is a band with real lower class cred who are not bothering with the Manc outdoor wear, gum chewing or unblinking blank stares tribute thing. Instead it's all pitched down with a repressed, volatile energy which intriguingly leaks out from some fine unprepossessing playing which sets it all up nicely for Craig's well honed dark, intense and masculine vocal.

It's magnificent and important.
