We Are The In Crowd - Islington Academy 26.4
A sold out show and I arrive five minutes before they band come on. However, I get straight to the bar and served immediately. The majority of the crowd are in their late teens and either too young or too poor to drink in the venue, especially at £4.20 a pint. Another US band sounding like Paramore a cynic might say. However We Are The In Crowd are slighly different with the guitarist sharing vocals with the female lead singer on many of the songs. They opened with Rumour Mill from their latest album Best Intentions. This was the basis of their set with great singalong rock songs such as Kiss Me Again and This Isn't Goodbye It's BRB being highlights. A short set and no covers alas but as new bands go I can see them playing much bigger venues than this in the near future.
