Tonight, the heat in the Cockpit is immense. You walk in and just feel the colour rise in your cheeks. You can already tell that some serious sweating is about to take place. When Between The Trees walk onstage, as the main support act for tonight’s show, it occurs to me how much they resemble Underoath in appearance; young, long-haired and seemingly bursting with energy. As it so happens, they also hail from Florida and share many of the same beliefs as Underoath. Before they begin to play I’m totally unaware of how they sound, so feel the need to be open-minded and it is within the first song that I am honestly hooked. Their songs are catchy, their music is well-played and the lyrics tell stories that every teenager will deal with at some point or another. The crowd reacts well, dancing and singing along if they pick up the words.

Their set is astonishing. Halfway through, slowing down the pace and introducing ‘A Time For Yohe’, they dedicate the song to Renee Yohe, the young woman of which the story and organisation To Write Love On Her Arms is based upon. I was aware before the show that Between The Trees were supporters of this, like many Christian bands in the US, but it is only then that I realise they personally played a part within the very story. The song itself shows lead singer Ryan Kirkland take to the keyboard and play out the piano ballad whilst most people, myself included, are rendered speechless by the beauty of it all.

The band’s ability to swap roles and instruments between songs is equally impressive. Even when all of the lights are switched off on stage- I am yet to figure out if this was accidental or intended - they still pull off ‘White Lines & Red Lights’ perfectly. In fact, the lack of light makes it that little bit more striking and special.

By the time they leave the stage, with calls of "Go pick up our CD [‘The Story and The Song’]. It’s only £5!" (incidentally, there’s a lot fewer CDs left when I go to buy my own), they’ve proved to an entire crowd that they are a band on the verge of massive success and will definitely be there to give the young bands of our generation a run for their money.

The introduction, like every time I have seen this band, is original and completely suited: a track portraying a teenager and a father arguing over the volume of the music she is playing, sounds throughout the small room. She adamantly refuses to turn it off, and on jump Kids In Glass Houses.

When the headliners take to the stage, Aled Philips, lead singer of Kids, can only really be described as hyperactive. As he bounds around the stage, hollering "It’s good to be back in the Cock, Leeds!" he grins at the crowd and launches into ’Easy Tiger’, one of the many amazingly powerful pop-rock blends from the band’s first EP ‘E-Pocalypse’.

Thinking back to the first time I saw this band, almost a year ago supporting Lostprophets, it’s amazing to see that same raw energy, but now, it is harnessed. Every move is executed more perfectly; they’ve completely grown as a band and they’re now the flawlessly tuned outfit they were destined to be. Tonight is all about celebrating the success they’ve gained so far and strengthening their fans’ support, as well as giving the band a chance to play new songs such as ‘Pick Flowers Not Fights’ which are yet to be released.

At numerous points in the show, Aled announces how hot it is, and he really is telling the truth. Yet, the crowd’s spirits are not dampened by sweat and all hysteria and havoc continues as the band launch into a surprisingly aggressive and thrilling cover of Glassjaw’s ‘Ry Ry’s Song’.

By the time they get to the hits such as ‘Historia’ and ‘Raise Hell’ (which Aled claims has been on their MySpace since 1999), the crowd are just one loud, dancing mass, conducted by the front man who is jumping up onto the tallest speaker by the stage.

However, the night is reserved for the last song of the set. It is within this track that pure madness is created and the biggest singalong of the evening is performed. ‘Me Me Me’, the band’s first ever single has never sounded so good. It is on this unbelievably high note that the band exit the stage, having yet again proven why tonight was all about catching a glimpse of the future of our music scene. And right now, the future’s bright. The future’s welsh.
