Does sound like Bristol’s Mess have a store of energy that surpasses most and so their ‘Melodramatic’ feels head to toe up to offering an indie rapture. It even has a chorus that is tailor made for pogo city at Mess’s shows for years to come. In effect we don’t get bands like this all that much these days, raw and direct but carrying with them the essentials to inspire a rabid fanbase. I think I might be one of them already, a song to blow off the cobwebs and restore the equilibrium to the underground. Reminded me a lot of the long lost Symposium. KH
