In Case Of Fire
Tonight is the final night of In Case Of Fire’s UK headline tour. The last night of six solid weeks of touring (three with Fightstar and three on their own). During these six weeks, the bands confidence has grown and grown, spured on by the release of their debut album and having fans sing the words back at them.
Whilst the band always had the songs, sometimes the delivery wasn’t there, however their new found confidence has pushed their live performance to new levels. From the moment they step on stage, dressed in matching uniforms as always, the band launches themselves into an energetic and aggressive set. Enemies has never sounded so hateful and aggressive. Playing to a packed room and the crowds reactions also pushes the band. Their usual introverted and concetrated look is out of the window at times, as drummer Colin can’t help but smile at the crowd.
The band play the longest set of the tour throwing in the odd B Side. But where they really shine is with songs such as Violence and Pictures, and Align The Planets as rhymic verses lead into heavy rock out, where singer/guitarist Steve Richardson and bassist Mark Williamson throw themselves and their instruments around the small stage. Whilst six months ago they would be fairly static onstage, the band now throw themselves away, engrossed in their music and enjoying themselves.
The band end the set with Plan A followed by album closer Second Revelation, this is when the real aggression comes out, unhappy with his guitar detuning due to the heat Steven throws it round, before dropping it down on the floor, in the process breaking the headstock.
With sets like this In Case Of Fire will have no problem winning new fans during the festival season.
