Apartment

Apartment have died and gone to indie heaven. A single on Fierce Panda which is currently scampering off the shelves faster than the speed of hype and a rammed Tuesday night Dublin Castle crowd waiting for the chance to lap up their every move. Almost unbelievably they do not disappoint.

Anyone coming to see them having heard their latest platter 'Everyone Says I’m Paranoid' might be forgiven for expecting a set full of echo laden mid-tempo navel gazing. That’s not a bad thing, but in fact this is a violently edgy and energetic set from the start, which is considerably more fun.

While some bands spend years affecting swagger and poise and generally pretending to look like rock stars, singer David Caggiari was born with one foot on a monitor (which must have made for a very difficult birth). When they deliver the single a couple of songs in, his presence looms over the entire stage, and his sonorous tones boom round the whole of Camden. This must be what The Bravery imagine themselves to sound like.

Go and see them now so you can show off to people about it when they get famous.
