Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Liverpool has its Beatles, Seattle – the memory of Nirvana, Birmingham is proud of Jeff Lynne and Black Sabbath, London the class of The Who and Iron Maiden, all considered the music equivalent of royalty, the crowned heads of Rock to whom servitude or the doffing of caps is thankfully not required to enjoy their takes on the world, and yet there seems to be something otherworldly about Los Angeles that is steeped in the mysticism, a sense of the Pacific Ocean air offering magic, that has seen its city’s limits simply overflow with the Renegades of regal spiritualty and the holiness of noble style.
