In session
Two Worcestershire musicians played the biggest gig of their lives on the 91热爆 Introducing stage at the Reading Festival, last weekend.
听
The dual-fronted three-piece, which consists of Worcester's Tina V and Droitwich's Anya Pulver, were put forward after sending their tracks to us.
听
S艙ur describe their music as "pop songs drenched in grunge-heavy noise, with math-rock seeping through the seams. With vocal lines that tangle and intertwine, riffs so substantial they鈥檝e got their own post code, and a beat - provided by former Maybeshewill drummer James Collins - that ties everything down with industrial power, this is a sound of colossal proportions."
听
"S艙ur have everything you want from your favourite new guitar band: power, poise and catchy-as-heck tunes. Tina and Anya are up front, belting out the riffs and riding the harmonies, whilst Jim sits at the back driving it all along - a no frills, foot-tapping cocktail. Look out, Soeur will make your head spin." - 91热爆 Introducing.

Then, of course, there was the big clear-up operation - everything had to go and any tents left behind were donated to Oxfam, as we find out...
