BOSCAWEN PARK, TRURO (6TH AUGUST)




THE REELS

First onto the main stage came The Reels, a fabulous four piece that are sounding tighter and livelier everytime I hear them. Led by the amazing voice of Alex Hill, The Reels have an atmospheric rock sound that is rarely heard in such a young band. With epic soundscapes and rolling drumbeats, catchy melodies and distorted guitars, the band performed a classic selection of their best material that perfectly introduced the growing public audience to their beautiful songs. Think U2 and you`re in the right ballpark with The Reels
The park began to fill as the lads came to the conclusion of their set just after midday, which unfortunately meant that many people missed the chance to see a great local band at the start of what promises to be a long and sucessful career. If you were one of those that rose late on Sunday, may I suggest you get your ears around the outside of The Reels at the very next opportunity ...you won`t regret it!
