Eight Rounds Rapid
Human Punk, 229 Venue, London
★★★★★
A LIVE performance by the maverick Southend punk band Eight Rounds Rapid has been a rarity in recent times, but hopefully this reappearance will turn out to be more than a one-off. Certainly the reception they received suggests they ought to get back on the road.
With a coachload of fans making the journey up the estuary to London, there was undoubtedly an element of pre-existing goodwill in the audience. Yet the neutrals clearly also shared in the admiration.
