Liverpool Sound And Vision Rating * * *

Manchester’s The Words have been much hyped throughout their relatively short time together; however in The Shipping Forecast on a bright Liverpool evening it was not to be their night.

The band, which has just returned from recording in Austria, took to the stage late citing an unnamed “disaster” for their delay. As a result of this, their set was cut short and perhaps it was this unwanted confusion prior to the gig which would ultimately prove to be the decisive factor in a performance which just didn’t really get going.
