Steve Thompson, We Didn’t Start The Fire. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is parody, then there is worship, both perhaps from the same root, the same cared for bud growing with high aspirations in the soil, one though grows in a very different direction to the other, one can be twisted, bent out of shape and seen as more than the object of desire, the other can stand out and be seen arguably as a natural progression, the thought process that the original might have taken had it had an artist’s fertile imagination behind it.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It is always heartening when you hear a band or artist bemoan the way that television and certain people making money from it has come to define music to a certain percentage of the population, so much so that you want to grab the musicians by the hand, shake it with vigour and a smile on your face and wish them all the luck in the world as they take on the televised corporation.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Like many things in the world, music is an art form best enjoyed live and in the raw, not force fed down a multiplex of wires and accessible via a flick of a switch and shown on a screen with directors teasing you into believing that what you are seeing is real. Catching a band live allows a sense of belonging to something a little more than yourself and in Steve Thompson and The Incidents, alongside the millions of other bands plying their trade with a smile and a song that belief is more than real, it is realisation that art in the raw is as good as it gets.
