The Theme, Gig Review. The Cavern, Liverpool. International Pop Overthrow (2016).

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The look may have altered slightly, the line up somewhat different, however, there should be no doubting that the aspiration and kudos attached to the London band The Theme, the sound of a million marching ideas and clean cut lyrics remains the same, remains compelling and clear; this is still The Theme, this is still life as lovers of the International Pop Overthrow would know and understand.

The Theme continue the good work laid down in the recent past and whilst the band have changed some personnel, the commitment to the scene, to the rush of truthful grandeur and roughly inspired life continues unabated and with strength in depth.

The Theme, In A Daze. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It’s a fact of life that to continually amaze people, to surprise them with each and every moment that the creative soul lives in, is damned near impossible; at some point the great fog of indifference, even if for a short while, is sure to set in and the juices which once flowed freely, stumble and bemuse the artist. For the Theme, one of London’s premier bands in which to see live, that bemusement is so far off that it practically runs a retirement home in Glamorgan and the rough and ready splendour of In A Daze reigns supreme.

The Theme, Hits The Sky. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Listening to The Theme’s Hits The Sky, the feeling of infectious delight washes over you to the point where you have to start looking through the yellow pages or asking your G.P. where the nearest place is to share the sheer joy of listening to one of the most remarkable bands to come out of the London area in many years.

The Theme, Gig Review. International Pop Overthrow 2015. The Cavern, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Loud, boisterous, full of vigour and passion, to watch The Theme is to enjoy a great night and have you panting for more.

The inexplicable nature of life, of how it has changed in the last 40 years, sometimes for the better in that bands have more access to the world outside their hometown, sometimes for the worse as in there is only so much finite time in which to keep searching through the relentless onslaught of social media updates and the outpourings of invites to see many a new group, can leave you feeling as if all your life you have lived by a quiet oasis and yet you yearn for the bucket and spade in which to dig a thousand moats.
