Heads bobbing in flawless four-four time, the quadruple drum pattern that serves as the heartbeat of rock and its many manic derivatives, a quartet of European 20-somethings stand draped over drums and guitars. From a wall of speakers comes a familiar rush: the sort of sonic crescendo designed to reduce Olympic stadiums to near-rubble. Two-thirds French, one part Italian, all-original hard rock outfit Sangvar Day –Mat (bass, French), Julien (drums, also French), Julian (guitar, Parisian) and Robin (vocals & guitar, from Verona in Italy) – have at last released their first EP, a six-track take-no-prisoners attack on the ears that includes the nothing-short-of-stomping Blood & Salt. And it is nothing short of EPIC. Joining the band for tonight’s launch is a slew of the capital’s finest music talent, including Lafidki. Do not miss.
