So I arrived at the small but atmospheric o2 academy2 Islington with high hopes for the band I was to review; Parasite. As they were giving out free copies of their debut EP called Hammer Rage, it was clear they were a new band looking to take off. So they strolled onto the stage very calmly and begun playing, and set the stage alight! I couldn’t believe that this band weren’t already playing massive venues, I’m not just saying this to be nice, they were really, really that good. I had a quick word with the bassist before they started who seemed very calm and normal, but once they started playing, he really went crazy, but in a way which showed that this band loved what they were doing. They all looked like a very close knit group and so all the timings were perfect and nothing went wrong at all through the whole half hour set. Considering this was their first EP release show, it looked like they had the experience of a band that had played together in many shows.
