Sounds Like: Review from Cornish Live Gig Review:Eventually some tiny kids were ushered on stage holding instruments made for giants.
It was The Basics, (above), a three piece band from the H.D. School, but with one fundamental difference - they were fucking great!
Full of attitude, "Hey we`re The Basics and we`re from Humphry Davy School ...and we`re PROUD!" shouted the guitarist as he kicked some serious butt with the band`s first song. All of their material appeared to be original and bloody good. It was tuneful, catchy and performed with an attitude that belied their ages (around 13 apparently), with panache and dignity. Absolutely stunning!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
