Once Over kicked off the proceedings with their mish-mash of thrash and ska. It's decidedly difficult both to headbang and to skank to their music. Bursting with more energy than a sugar factory the whole band leapt about and got the crowd nicely warmed up. They were fast, brutal and also sounded good.

Next up were Bang bang bang, who are probably very nice people so I feel rather bad saying their music was really terrible. I mean really terrible. Sample song: *shouted* "MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SUNDAY, SATURDAY!". They're more of an art-rock type band than anything to do with punk as you or I would know it. At least the band seemed to be having fun. The audience as a whole didn't seem to approve. Just in the wrong place at the wrong time is my diagnosis for Bang bang bang.

However all is forgiven soon enough. Jack Terricloth and his band of merry men and women took to the stage and stole everyone's attention shamelessly. Jack's somewhat flirtatious and funny yet mysterious manner had people's eyes glued to the stage. Of course, where would World/Inferno be without their amazing band with Lucky ripping amazing solos from his guitar every song. Their set included songs from every Inferno era, including some off their latest offering Addicted to Bad Ideas. They
played right up to the curfew but still left the crowd wanting more.

9/10 (cos I'm not letting Bangbangbang ruin my gig)
