TRACK OF THE DAY: Pow

WHO: Let Our Enemies Beware or LOEB (no relation to Lisa Loeb).

WHAT: In their own words ‘angry militant geeks with rock in our hearts and punk in our eyes’.

THE HYPE: ‘Really exciting, really forward-thinking visceral rock'n'roll’ - Zane Lowe

WE SAY: Now, I know I said the other day that kids who can turn their amps up to 11 aren’t all that, but I was just being a bit dramatic. Also, these four Medway lads have in just two loud and short minutes proved me badly wrong.

Pow is the sound of road-raging grand prix driver shaking up and popping bottles of pent-up adolescent guitar rage instead of champagne. It’s a ninja-efficient relentless carpet bombing of thrash metal mannerisms. It’s Enter Shikari if they stopped mucking around with the keyboards and got on with business. It’s Anthrax with better dress sense and cooler reading habits. It’s all about the Sixties cartoon character Batfink. It’s killer.

IF YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW ONE THING: Like David Cronenberg’s Scanners, this lot have dangerous powers. One of their gigs was so loud it caused a chandelier to explode and shatter.

WHERE CAN I GET MY HANDS ON IT: LOEB’s second EP will be out later this year on Smalltown America.
