JETPLANE LANDING oooo WILDTYPE ooo
FICKLE PUBLIC oooo Studio 24, Edinburgh. Mon 28 Apr
Size matters in rock. And all three of these bands are hung like donkeys in the riff department.
Fickle Public (formerly Purple Munkie) stutter and fall through tunes like Fugazi bumping into early Pavement, before accidentally- deliberately stumbling over a metal groove so heavy it makes your head cave in.
Edinburgh trio Wildtype might not have the natural charisma of Fickle Public, but they more than make up for it in spazztastic stage antics. With sweat spraying off him, singer Marky Torture shrieks Kurt-ster till his lungs flop out, while his rhythm section unleash ballistic grunge like it's going out of fashion.
Which leaves Irish foursome Jetplane Landing who, far from being put out by the preceding quality, launch into an occasionally jaw-dropping display of chundering guitar oppression, topped by colossal catchy pop choruses. Singer and guitarist Andy Ferris is all spasmodic leaps and thrashes as the band showcase some bone-meltingly heavy new material as well as the best parts of their excellent Zero for Conduct album.
