THE PEARL HARTS – NORWICH – LIVE REVIEW

Voodoo Daddyâs in Norwich really is a great little venue for an old school rock n roll show, so itâs a good thing that we are here tonight for just that!
There are three bands on offer tonight with our headliners The Pearl Harts celebrating the recent release of their latest album, âLove, Chaosâ.
COLLARS
Up first are locals Collars, who do a fantastic job in getting the early crowd warmed up. The unique duo have something a little different to offer, which is always important when there are so many acts out there battling for a limited audience.
That shines through tonight and clearly the audience here in the venue appreciate the experience. The duo are able to control the crowd well and convey their sonic goods with effortless aplomb.
HOTWAX
The main support for this tour comes from upcoming rockers HotWax who take things to the next level with their assured performance. The trio play a selection of tracks from recently released EP, âA Thousand Timesâ, which sound enormous live.
The likes of âTreasureâ, the title-track and set closer âRip It Outâ demonstrate why the hype train is starting to pick up for a band with a big future. The band play with experience beyond their years and certainly make an impression on the thrilled crowd.
THE PEARL HARTS
Soon enough itâs time for our headliners to take to the stage and as soon as they do, you feel the presence of stars. The Pearl Harts have just followed up their stunning debut album with another sensational collection of fun rockers.
The duo completely own the stage and âBaby Chaosâ, âPullinâ My Brains Outâ and âLaraâ set the tone early for the rest of the night. Polished yet rough and ready, The Pearl Harts somehow capture the juxtaposition of the two with ease; singles âMoreâ and âHypocriticalâ showcasing this next.
There is a fierce power in the duo but this is seized and presented with a real shine. The crowd are almost left in awe of the ferocious majesty on display as the band plough through âSuck It Upâ, âGoldâ, âWild Meâ and âDifferent Kinda Girlâ.
On record The Pearl Harts are spectacular, but on stage they are simply phenomenal. Even broken strings canât stop them and âHurtâ and âHit The Bottleâ quickly follow reminding fans of the quality of their debut album, âGlitter and Spitâ.
The intense finale of âBlack Bloodâ is enough to ensure the audience leave with huge smiles on their faces. After all, theyâve just caught three very good bands in a great little music venue. Surely thereâs not a better way to spend a Bank Holiday?
