A mix of covers and original songs form this young band, Train Wrecker brought with them an enthusiastic crowd of supporters ready to head-bang the night away. Revelling in the metal and rock classics of the 80s and 90s, the band really brought the fire. The drummer, neon in his festival hat, hit his skins with crazy passion, while the chilled bassist had a laid back cool energy that kept the ship steady. The lead guitarist rocked out on his solos like a virtuoso, and even threw in a dad joke or two to bridge the generation gap in the mixed crowd. It was great to see a fringe show really bring people of all ages together.
The star attraction was of course Peter Roberts, the lead singer, who screamed his soul into the microphone as if exorcising a demon. With long tumbling hair and open shirt, he looked every inch the rock god, but also had a sweetness and gentleness to his demeanour which brought balance to the intensity of his voice.
Overall, a brilliant set performed by four very accomplished young musicians. Ferocious, fierce and fabulous!
