Reading & Leeds - Buzz Bands: SUNDAY

The final day of the festival sees the return of one of the biggest bands in the world, that being blink-182. I'm very much looking forward to their return and would count them as one of the main reasons that I chose Reading this year as the festival of choice. But, let's roll on with the final day blog!

Sunday

Main Stage

Sleeping With Sirens - 16.05 - 16.55

Making their debut at Reading this year are Sleeping With Sirens, who come from Orlando Florida and boast a unique frontman. Kellin Quinn may have had his publicity problems, but there is no denying that he is an incredible vocalist. Having a very high pitch voice and being able to scream gives SWS an identity, especially amongst the many cookie cutter bands in the American scene these days. Having their latest album 'Feel' crash into number 3 in America, this is a band who have been able to justify the hype give to them. Having already played a headline slot at Brixton Academy, the band will be able to take to the main stage with no fear. These guys can only grow.

Lock Up Stage

letlive. - 20.10-20.55

letlive. are a band who have redefined what a live show is. They've got one of the most incredible frontmen in the current world. Jason Aalon Butler is a livewire who throws himself around the stage like a ragdoll. All eyes are all on him at all times whil letlive. are on stage. This isn't a bad thing though, because it becomes part of the spectacle of the band. Butler can incite chaos as he sees fit and the band are all tightly knit, playing some of the best hardcore music going right now. Taking influence from Refused, the band's last album The Blackest Beautiful could be used as the 21st Century's blueprint to Hardcore. They're must sees this weekend.

Lock Up Stage

Möngöl Hörde - 21.25 - 22.10

And now we come to another incendiary live band. MH are made up of Ben Dawson, Matt Nasir and one Frank Turner, returning to his hardcore roots. The band are another of letlive. ilk, with a charismatic frontman who orchestrates chaos as he sees fit. This set will keep alive Turner's current string of playing Reading and Leeds which has stretched over a 5 years now. Another band who can be called a buzz band, they're set for a big year and it gives Turner a chance to do something different for a bit, instead of just the Folk-Punk he's become accustomed to. Very excited for this one!
