My friend actually took me along to a Mustard Plug gig some time ago before I knew any of the ska punk band’s tracks, and I was immediately won over by their organic and individual use of eclectic instruments in their punk sound. The trumpet and saxophone build up the sound incredibly, and when juxtaposed with the guitar and drums, they create a super exciting sound. After seeing their first show live, I knew I had to buy their music, and after listening to it time and time again, I was lucky enough to catch them in concert once again.
Usually, I’d say a band with seven members was a little too big, but the bigband sound that they create is incredible and instantly creates an electric atmosphere. Seeing the band six years on from my first experience with them, I’d say if anything, they’ve just got better and better over the years. They played through their album Can’t Contain It, which was actually funded using a KickStarter campaign, and as no one in the crowd had heard any of the tracks form the album live before, everyone was going crazy, and dancing full out.
From start to finish, the band were totally dedicated to their performance, and Colin and Dave were shouting out to us in the crowd to get involved with the dancing and singing. The way that you could tell that every single band member was there to please the audience made the whole event seem even more special and exhilarating.
