AWWBLOT?

We went rifling through our old records in the attic last week, and found some music by a band called …And What Will Be Left Of Them? (catchy name, etc.) who we first went to see while we were at university.

…And What Will Be Left Of Them? were good because they made the kind of music that made you jump around and spill drinks and sing ridiculously, and they quite clearly did not care.

Their best songs were ‘Hi-Fi Lowlife’ and ‘4 Years To Be An Artist’, the latter of which sounded like a very camp version of Travis Barker’s band Transplants, all WOOP WOO-s and lyrics about wanting “a rum and coca-cola, please”.

Chances are you haven’t heard of …Them, so here are some things that you might like to know:
  • They are from Worcester.
  • According to their MySpace, they are ‘Pop / Electro / Indie’.
  • They have a singer called Red White who is very attractive.
  • Their bassist left university to tour with them.
  • Hopefully that paid off for him.

Things seem to have gone a bit quiet on the …And What Will Be Left Of Them? front just lately, which is a shame. They released a free download last September called ‘Wet Weekend In July’ and have played a few gigs since then.

They are worth seeing if you do ever get the chance, but bear in mind that you might need to be under 23 and/or pissed on snakebite to fully appreciate their sound. We couldn’t say for sure.

Having seen this band with little more than one cider and black in my gut (due to insufficient student funds) I can safely say this band is well worth looking out for. A lively bunch with a guitarist who swears alot, what more could you ask for...
