A thrilling exciting night of music at BOMnight, Pulse Bar, Barnsley, March 10- review


What an exciting thrilling night at the Pulse Bar on Thursday, 10th March, with four brilliant bands pounding out furious loud indie rock and an audience that stamped and pulsed, the wooden floor vibrating with the solid rhythmic gyrations. Audience and bands alike fused into one awesome performance.
 First up was The Northern Swagger, young and raw with an appreciative screaming jostling audience, then came Scarlet Sunset and the crush of crowd pressed into the band, the lead singer disappearing into a screaming gyrating mass of bodies. The band responded engaging with its fans  throwing out energetic optimistic and uplifting rock harmonies. The lead singer on a knife edge state of hyperactivity then drummer Amanda cranked up the rhythm as the band connected with the crowds energy arms waving bodies writhing the audience just lost in love with Scarlet Sunset.
Manchester band Still Down Gill were next, with a versatile earthy bluesy psychedelic sound, with changes of pace from full throttle rock to subtle slow harmonies and melody and a lovely blend of voice harmonies.
The Tipsy lions finished the night in style taking the screaming crowd to a thrilling climax, with subtle guitaring rhythmic percussion and powerful gritty expressive vocals that had depth, height and soul the band combined with a full throttle presence.
A brilliant night at BOMnights, The Pulse Bar in Barnsley, definitely- definitely- definitely a place to visit!!
