Crushing Blows
Sunday 10th July, BBC Introducing stage
Not so dissapointing
Crushing Blows. The name sounds like dissapointment, but dissapointed you shall not be watching this indie noise-pop group. Combining musical craftsmanship, pop hooks and a passionate stage performance, their live show has fast become a talking point on the DIY music scene.
Musically they fall somewhere in between Battles and Broken Social Scene, yet their sound is far from derivative. Guitarist and falsetto vocalist Chris Jones creates interesting and intricate sounds, while drummer Andrew Foster plays with precision and speed, often juggling singing and keyboard parts too! Although the music is technically accomplished there is no compromise on melody, and the T in The Park crowd are bound to enjoy this.
