TRIP
TRIP are on early due to the sad absence of InStill. It’s crystal clear from the start of their enigmatic set that they don’t like putting themselves in a box, locked in by the confines of an established genre. Sometimes pure rock, sometimes experimental, sometimes hardcore, often metal, TRIP refuse to settle on any one sound, instead opting to punch out song after song that concentrate not on just delivering music, but on exploring it. It’s only 8:45 and we’re already been given one of the most interesting and together support bands that’s been in Bridport. Their energetic frontman is perfect; as lively and amusing as the face of a band should be. Each song has a definite but unique structure that brings unity, binding each of the five parts together. The singer is rarely, if ever, off key and he has the kind of voice that is easily identifiable. His band mates are just as skilled, each one listening and playing at once, a talent that keeps TRIP’s sound tight and defined. Their last song is a culmination of everything we’ve seen so far and is delivered with the kind of style a headliner on a regular night would offer. Still, as we’ve seen so far, this is no regular night...
Trip -awareness chapters ***
Prologue by Newport based prog rockers Trip builds via a distorted guitar strum before exploding all over your ears on the chorus into a pleasantly frenetic mess of guitars and screaming vocals. It’s surprisingly passionate for welsh heavy music (much of it being dull emo retreading or revisionist old skool nonsense). This is progressiveness with attitude and a dollop of ATDI angst to add to its rock dynamics.
Excommunicated shows off a more melodic sense, building neatly into a Faith No More style verse before exploding into a Mars Volta-esque series of stabbing guitar lines and a Trip are a promising band who don’t resemble anything on the current Welsh heavy/prog rock scene, I’m interested to see how their sound will mutate in the coming months.
