Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is a kind of magic that explodes with delight when the thought of a band from the Birmingham area makes a single or album that is infectious and interesting to listen to. The comparisons between Liverpool and the Midlands, especially when it comes to its music appreciation, are many fold and yet despite the allusions to the 60s and 70s heydays when bands could mix freely and their tunes would overlap, such is the distinction now that it feels more rare than a night out on Broad Street being enjoyed by a theatre goer and a hen party taking in the delights of the Alexandra Theatre.
