Bombay Bicycle Club are a young, enthusiastic indie rock band from Crouch End, London and they re definitely something to watch out for with their own brand of unique indie pop. The venue was fairly small and the quartet have most likely played to a lot bigger audience than this before, but the whole venue knew exactly who they were and were singing back the lyrics with unbelievable force. Starting with Open House the crowded room jitters and surges along to the undeniably contagious rhythm. Young they may be, but Bombay Bicycle Club certainly know rock ’n’ roll style.

The band bring immeasurable zestful energy to their catchy riffs, bringing to life their Strokes influence on track How Are You which really gets the crowd moving. However Ghost is the top showcase of their gifted talent, with an astounding captivating baseline with lead vocalist Jack Steadman‘s emotive and changing time signature. Flying into Sixteen the small crowd dance themselves into a frenzy, the melodies are confidently infectious and the crowd seems to be lapping it up. Steadman seems totally absorbed in the moment, jumping with endless energy around the small stage, adding plenty of edge and focus to their performance. Tracks Cancel On Me and The Hill prove to be an instant pleasers - energizing tonight's audience with a melody that creeps through your veins. Bombay Bicycle Club prove to be an outstanding live and recording band and with a bit more experience they are sure to become one of the best bands in the UK.
