There's always something special about experiencing an exciting young band in a tiny sweaty basement. That's exactly what fans of
October Drift were treated to on a cold Thursday night in Cardiff.

| The Fused @ Undertone |
First up where local indie-rockers
The Fused; a Cardiff band with a lot of energy and an exciting sound. Within seconds a mosh pit broke out in the venue, the ceiling only centimetres from the bouncing fans heads. The band say they're influenced by the likes of
Catfish & The Bottlemen and
The Libertines and you can certainly hear that indie style come through there music, however the band had moments of delving into a rockier style which kept the crowd bouncing.
The Fused have a very current sound and with the energy they portrayed in their performance could move on to bigger things.

| The Broadcasts @ Undertone |
The Broadcasts came to the stage a man down with their guitarist at home recovering from an illness. Nonetheless the band still gave an exciting performances. They fed off the energy created by
The Fused, reducing the fans into a sweaty mess. The alt rock/acoustic band from south Wales have an album out soon which will be a great listen if their live performance is anything to go by.

With the crowd buzzing and excitement brewing
October Drift took the stage. Due to the bands recent social media storm through issues with Facebook's swear filter while trying to promote a gig in Scunthorpe and an ever increasing hype around the band, the show was nearly packed to capacity. The band bounced of the energy created by the two supports with crowd surfers and mosh pits a common place throughout the set. The band not only musically were fantastic but also interacted with the crowd incredibly; climbing amps, bouncing with the crowd and at one point getting the whole room to crouch down in a circle during the opening part of 'Lost'.

These sort of displays from the Somerset band won't go unnoticed and will propel them to bigger and better things in the near future.
