Just bought Frames from Oceansize and Travels by Defeater.

Both truly fantastic CD's.

No offence and understand that I'm fully supportive of any form of local Music review/promotion but seriously... some of the writing in that review is pretty woeful. It's not so much the ideas but rather the phrasing and syntax that is off-putting. Edit a bit before publishing.

I would love to consult your site regularly to keep up with Aberdeen gigs but not if the reviews are all like that.

3/5

The review was edited, but I left it as a big read because I felt their was a fair amount to be said about the evening. Also, we are not a local website. We are national, hence why we are looking to delve into the local scenes of many cities around the UK but absolutely no way will I compromise our integrity by rating a band any higher than I believe they deserve.

Pre-sales were at 45 for the night and overall turnout was about 65 in the end. Dunno where you got 30 from unless you counted all the people in the room between bands?!

I never counted, this is a mere estimation.

Yeah, felt the whole review could have been shortened a whole heap and talk of "da scene" was a big turn off.

Never heard of the website before and looks like its been on the go a while too.

No talk of "da scene". Just pisses me off that people pay for an evening entertainment then decide to leave once the first support bands play without even giving the headliners a chance. Once again, honesty comes number one with me, and I find it quite poor that people can't stick around to watch what they actually paid for.

I thought your review was great! 4/5

Cheers

Thanks man. Your set was fantastic. It's just too bad some people never stayed to even check you out. I'll be at your next gig if I can make it.

This is a bloody good line up! I work closely with the Basick lads so may look into doing a full feature on this with interviews and the lot!

My first post here!

I attended the gig and it was a good one but it had some big flaws I believe in the first two acts. It may come across harsh as I genuinelly feel it's the best way to constructively portray my dismay at some aspects of certain bands sets, but check out my review.

Daily Dischord

Just to formally introduce myself, I'm Liam Spencer, stay in Peterhead, run the website Daily Dischord and plan to cover a lot more Aberdeen bands on the site to help promote them around the UK and the USA rather than just Scotland! If bands have demo's or want me to attend a gig, email me at liam[at]dailydischord[dot]com.

Escape To Victory, by the way, were seriously impressive!
