Seven Summits - gig review

So, here's my review on ATL of Seven Summits from Friday night at Animal Disco in Auntie Annies.

First of all, I have to say that Animal Disco is really a cracking wee night. I can't say for certain without commissioning a full market research report, of course, but I'd imagine that the combination of DJs playing some class indie/rock/dance/hip hop type tunes with just a wee sprinkling of some magnificent cheese, with a local band on is a pretty good way of getting a few more folks involved in the local music scene and exposing them to gigs and bands that they might not be so fussed on ordinarily. It's a really great combination for a brilliant Friday night out, and creates a cracking party atmosphere. Also, playing Horse Outside = massive, massive win.

And onto Seven Summits. As I said in the review, they have a lot of promise. They're very together and assured on stage, and in Burning Heart they have one hell of a cracking single. It's catchy, it's radio-friendly - it's a gem, and if they can keep that sort of standard up they really should go far. But as their debut album contests, they are more than just a band who can crack out a decent wee indie pop tune here and there - they have a lot of depth, subtlety (sidenote: is it just me, or does that work never look like it's spelled properly?) and substance to them. They're definitely ones to watch for the future.
