Latest Nightshift review

Many thanks to Liz Dodd for our latest write-up in Oxford institution Nightshift:

Witches tear open a generous support set, exploding musical space between tense metal riffs. The sound is gigantic - stretching the boundaries of The Wheatsheaf – and wrenches excitement from every chord. Exuberant and spectacular: their crazy, Sovietwaltz beats splinter brass colliery band into a closer that bursts with vocal harmonies and hardcore maraca action.. Witches lift you out of your own head, whirl you around the room on the cusp of a trumpet tremolo and drop you, gently, back beside the bar.

Thank you.

I would like to say a big thank you to the two bands who played with us last night at the Dublin Castle. Bleech and Airship were both excellent - one of the strongest bills I've ever played on.

I would also like to thank Club Fandango for consistently putting us on with good bands at good venues, and making us feel welcome in the Big Smoke, and to the friendly and helpful staff at the Dublin Castle.

Finally, thank you to our friends and fans who came from London and Oxford to see us play, particularly Johnny and Penny for braving the January cold.

It's a long old road but sometimes it's really really worth it.
