Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We live in interesting times, the world has always found a way to drag down the individual to a point where it feels safe from that person’s hopes, desires and dreams and yet it constantly requires that the border between aspiration and conformity be pushed ever further back, that someone poking their head above the wall to survey their surroundings be taken in hand and silenced. If ever there was a time to Rise Up, whether artistically or physically, then surely before the century gets too bogged down with the guilt of almost fascist thought of trampling down of anything that resembles free will.
