Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The Lake District is arguably one of the great and unspoilt places within the whole of the U.K., alongside Dartmoor, the areas of Snowdonia, the lochs of Scotland and the banks of the furthermost reaches of The Mersey. The Lake District revels in its beauty, is not ashamed of its splendour and like a grand woman of any age, celebrates in its attractive qualities and injects that appreciation into anyone who has a heart that cannot contain the words in which to espouse or promote.

The glory of such places reflects in those who can take advantage of the lyrical wonder and as one of Cumbria’s finest, Mylittlebrother, took to the stage of The Cavern, that lyrical wonder found its way into the crowd of the venue and was greeted with the same sense of wonder, that same smile of the Progressive, as those who come across the Lakes for the first and unforgettable time.

A band to whom Power Pop can be utilised and shaped as if moulded by the hands of Progressive free thinkers, as if taken in by the memories of Wordsworth, is more than worth catching, they must be admired and celebrated. The ability to make the lyric stand out and inject pace and poetic charm into the accompanying music is to be applauded, to enrich it to make it stand in the realms of a story, that Progressive charm is to approve whole heartedly and without fear. Such is the way that Mylittlebrother are able to hold themselves on stage that all these elements combine and make good on the promise offered by the band.

Such binding relationships are forged in gold and as songs such as If We Never Came Down, Profiterolls, the glorious Obvious, All Gonna Die and the excellent Amsterdam rolled over the audience like honey bearing smeared with care by a million dedicated bumble bees over a piece of toast, that relationship between music and crowd was cemented and forged in heat, well placed lyrical abundance and full commendation.

A tremendous set by a new favourite on the scene, Cumbria’s Mylittlebrother is worth investigating and holding close.
