Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
There are some bands that just typify a new way of thinking by recognising and acknowledging the past. The sound they create and bring together is the special blend that others strive for but quite often gets lost in a murky and heady fog of ideas. For Joe Symes and The Loving Kind, the amalgam of 21st Century life in their home city of Liverpool and the consideration of what made the city stand out as the musical powerhouse of the country go hand in hand on their exciting and astonishing self-titled debut album.
