Justice, Common Cause, The Fight Back, and another lot - 13th Note, Glasgow, 18/Feb/07

One of the problems about waiting this long to sort out photos is you forget things, like the name of this band. As far as I know this was the only show they played...



The Fight Back were one of the best hardcore bands in Scotland, this was their second last show but last time I would see them as I couldn't make the last gig. There was certainly an air of tension within the band. Bob was pissed and Mark was pissed off. Didn't stop the crowd going ape for the sing alongs, Keano spent most of the set buried under folk grabbing for the mic.
Sorely miss this band.

Common Cause were new to me and totally blew me away, straight up fast hardcore with chuggy mosh bits, lots of energy and short songs, cracking stuff.

Final band of the night was Justice, I'd heard a few songs by them a couple years earlier and heard good things about them so expectations were running high.
And they were shit.
They had obviously progressed as musicians, which is the hardcore punk term for turning to absolute pretentious cack.
The few old songs they played were good though.

check the song light in the dark on their myspace page for what they did sound like and then listen to the rest to see how wrong it went...
