It's a rare occasion to get a line up as raw and energetic as this. One of Birmingham's very best, The Butters Aliens supported by The Earnest Spears, P.E.T, Blick Black And The Chilliholers and Euphoric bringing one of the most enjoyable gigs I've been to in Birmingham so far.

I arrived just in time to catch P.E.T's set, which was a great start to the night. This perky 4 piece outfit are full of angst and attitude and brought it all to their set. Combining girl swagger and punk rock power, they really made an impression.

The loud and shirtless dudes in Blick Black and The Chilliholers came in screaming Busted and causing havoc. Their gnarly sound and angry songs had the crowd jumping off their feet.

Next on the line-up, I had the pleasure of getting to see the brilliant new wave punks The Earnest Spears. Their juicy riffs and powerful performance was one that really caught my attention. As if their well-attired look wasn't enough to instantly make me a fan, they also showed pure musical ability along with show stopping frontmanship.

Last but certainly not least we had the nights headliners, The Butters Aliens. Already being one of my all-time favourites, I was extremely excited to see this set and they did not disappoint. They brought the roof down with their catchy songs, crowd interaction and energetic performance they managed to put on a show that wasn't short of excitement.
