Fresh after seeing
Federal Charm the night before at, The New Adelphi Club I was ready to do it
again for another North West band! The band was, The Drifting Classroom and
they have some famous fans such as Elbow and Blur so it was worth a shot.
Another two local
support acts fill the void between doors and main act, although the first did
little for me the second (The Waviers) was captivating and defiantly ones to
watch in the future, my gut feeling usually serves me well... Mumford and Sons,
Allusondrugs, Twin Atlantic being three I thought would make it. Back to the
night itself, I am glad to say The Drifting Classroom were worth it, more than
a bunch of musicians, they are a group of talented musicians that grab your
attention and help you drift inside their world and instruments. Although
the overall show lacked a connection with the audience, it was acceptable as the
musicians were playing there instruments with such precision and passion to
make you stand back and relish this golden opportunity, spinning another
dimension onto the recorded tracks.
Speaking of which, after
getting sent their album to review I have yet to turn it off my iTunes as each
track tells a unique and brilliant story. The tracks are not just built on a
lyrical substance but musical substance as well, drawing influences from jazz
and rock to create their unique sound. Madness and Hey You are two of the
tracks that stand out for me, the only constructive criticism would be to flesh
out more of the instruments, like joint solos working the instruments even
closer to the edge. What do you think join in the conversation now on social
media and check out their debut album, Oubliette, out now.
