Veronica Falls, The Dome, Tufnall Park, London, 23 October 2013

Veronica Falls played an accomplished and engaging set. They rattled through favourites and new material and kept the rather international audience enthralled.


The band's sound mixed melodic harmonies with a more scuzzy indie rock vibe with a pop sensibility. The lyrics are worth a listen too, quite dark at times but also witty. 


While they were playing we kept a note of where we thought we could spot musical nods, parallels or heritage. It is a tribute to the band that they have a tight, uniform sound throughout and at the same time got us thinking of early Blur, baggy, Depeche Mode, the Housemartins, Orange Juice and Teenage Fanclub.


Top notch music and an enjoyable show.
