King Tut's Wah Wah Hut is packed tonight and as we head up the stairs, Outcry Collective are already powering their way through their set. Possessing all of the skill and musicianship of a band much more established than they are, their take on Southern metal sounds ferocious. Producing a sound that Every Time I Die would be proud of, vocalist Stephen Sitkowski sounds fierce and it's hard to remember that this foursome are in fact from Surrey. However, the crowd tonight are either a little too young, or maybe too oblivious to really get into the tracks, despite frequently following the frontman's commands to "make some noise" when prompted. Nevertheless, this band are an impressive example of how great good old rock and roll can be.

Next up in the main support slot are welsh quintet Save Your Breath; a band who could be no further from the musical stylings of our openers. In fact, Save Your Breath stand strong as the UK's best example of traditional pop punk and their set is fantastic. With a new vocalist, in the form of Kris Richards, the band seem happy and at ease on stage; a massive achievement for a band who, just four months ago, had to advertise online for a new singer. New track 'Stay Young' is the highlight of the set, perfectly showcasing that this band are headed in the best direction possible.

As Young Guns step onto the stage as our last act this evening, the crowd are already going wild. The last twelve months have marked the band's journey from obscurity to the heights of being this scene's current 'it' boys, with their popularity rise showing no signs of slowing down. For anyone out of the loop, Young Guns may still appear relatively unknown, but for the couple of hundred teenagers crammed into the venue tonight, they're one of the best, and fastest, rising British bands around right now. It's easy to see why too, with slick, metallic songs that are unbearably catchy and a front man - Gustav Wood - that is perfect in his role. 'The Weight of the World' is incendiary, whilst their latest single 'Winter Kiss' allows for a massive singalong. It's absolutely safe to say that this band will be selling out venues much bigger than King Tuts in just a few short months.
