I took a bit of pleasure in not reviewing 2000 Trees this year and enjoying it with no obligation to remember any of it. This also meant I didn’t research many of the bands I didn’t know before hand which led to some nice surprises.
One of the most noteworthy being Southampton’s Creeper. An enigmatic frontman gothic in appearance with showmanship up there with the best and a solid band with a sound as grandiose as Mariana’s Trench.
They’ve already got a solid following, the presence and passion of which was unignorable watching them live. They’re playing Alexandra Palace for the Vans warp tour followed up by a (sold out) Halloween gig coming up suiting to their vampiric leanings and they already sell out everywhere they headline so catch them before the hipsters find out.
