A band that dabble in the genres of indie rock and hardcore rock (often in the same songs), Lower Than Atlantis are a group that appeal to quite a large number of the rock demographic. After recently signing to Sony Records, the lads from Watford are likely to hit the mainstream very soon coinciding with the release of their new, self-titled album. They have changed their style quite drastically since their first album release, going for a more light-hearted rock sound rather than their former aggressive selves, but still remain good at what they do.
For those of their thousands of fans who went to see them perform at Reading in August 2014, they got to witness a very energetic performance. After a rendition of 'If The World Was To End', they went onto perform 'Motorway Of Life', a tune that got everyone jumping around as soon as the first few chords were strummed. The song contained hardcore elements throughout the verses, but the song that followed was certainly a lot more emotional and powerful. There was barely any instruments played throughout 'Another Sad Song', the band instead let the fans take over as they sang every word together... it was enough to make the hairs stand on the back of your neck!
The final song was the most popular of the night. The tune 'Here We Go' seems to be a track about a fairytale story, but the rock and roll nature of the tune started off a mosh pit in the middle of audience. The strobe white lighting that flashed in different directions in the darkness of the tent did build up a very fitting atmosphere for the gig, and I have my fingers crossed that there's going to be more of that darkness in their upcoming album and subsequent tours that has made their discography so successful.
Lower Than Atlantis were so good! The crowd was fun and very lively in places, the support acts really got everyone started. They came into the crowd at one point which was really exciting, seeing him play an acoustic part was just a beautiful moment! Was sad I didn't managed to get a plectrum though, maybe I'll just have to go and see them again. Everything seemed really good I mean the music was a great standard, they are quite an established band now and they really know what they're are doing, getting the crowd involved in pictures and stuff! Just made for a great evening, especially if you don't mind getting pushed around and jumping for a bit!,
