Blaenavon are a band on the rise, and the three-piece showed no signs of slowing day with a sold out show at The Lexington earlier this week.
Although there’s nothing entirely groundbreaking about their out and out indie sound, their songs demonstrate the reason why some publications are labeling a band to watch for 2016.
With only a handful of EP’s to their name, they played a highly energetic 40-minute set where each song was more hotly anticipated than the last. Although most hecklers seemed to be friends of the band, they took the show in their stride opening with Hell is My Head and closing with their cult-hit Prague, two tracks that are well worth checking out.
If you’re fan of classic 00’s indie bands than they are more than likely the band for you, so make sure you catch them next time they’re in town.
Support came from the irrepressible Isaac Gracie, and the easily forgettable Waylor.
