Reviews

Of the nine songs here, only one is a new track and five are from her most recent LP, so there is a tendency to compare these to the originals or perhaps feel slighted by a cover album of one’s own songs – but this wouldn’t be fair.

It’s a debut, sure, but for now his apparent destiny seems a little way off.

It’s the grittier songs where Blessthefall sound more comfortable – and they do that honourably.

Covering indie/electro mob AWOLNATION’s Sail deviates from their norm, but proves to be a misfire. Few curveballs, but another mosh-friendly beast.

This feels right, it feels natural and it feels comfortable.

Bastille tread a very fine line between indie cool and complete crossover, which is where it seems these lads are ultimately headed.

Evoking karaoke at a boozy girls’ night out, the stunning performance ends on a mash-up of Martika’s Love, Thy Will be Done, The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger and even a terrible attempt at Eminem’s Lose Yourself.

Cribb dedicated a song to his girlfriend, and then signed off with It Never Ends, again from the EP.
