2 Girls are dancing wildly as if there lives depended on it. Lads down the front are jumping and moshing and others are supping their pints, listening intently.
This is a Sucioperro gig, and although the venue is by no means near full capacity those that are in attendance are clearly loving every second. The songs from new album Pain Agency are integrated into the set with old favourites from Random Acts of Intimacy and go down a storm with the crowd.
Comparisons are often made with Biffy Clyro. Both bands are a three piece from Ayrshire, and Sucio frontman Dragon (J.P Reid) has a side project by the name of Marmaduke Duke with Biffy Clyro's lead man, Simon Neil) and though some songs do have similarities, seeing them live confirms they definitely each have their own distinctive style.
