Sounds Like: Haich are slowly emerging as one of the finest bands in Leicester. Stunning vocals from Howard Rose backed by superb guitar playing from Daryl Smith, Joe Cartwright and Will Hay and quality drumming from David Plumb, Haich's set attracted much praise from other band members and from the audience. Since their revival earlier this year, Haich have been concentrating on recording a set of new songs and on putting in place a revamp of the band that started about two years ago. The highlight of their year so far was their appearance at the Big Night Out gig where they attracted not only the biggest crowd of the night but also fervent acclaim from everyone. Haich's style of music marks them out as one of more musically sophisticated of our local bands. Songs charged with passion and melody can sweep from tender and poignant passages to explosive bursts of sound. At some points Haich's songs sound like hard rock but they are by no means a typical hard rock band. The band refers to their style as 'progressive' and in some ways they sit somewhere between rock and pop but there are elements which have the quality of jazz. This only illustrates one point, that Haich write songs that are in a class of their own. The band includes some of the most talented guitarists in Leicester and you can hear this from the instrumentation and orchestration. But what makes a Haich song so spectacular is the singing of Howard Rose: massive bolts of lightening and fireworks, counterpointed with tense and emotional passages, moment of blissful sweetness and crystal clear articulation. This is a band that is taking rock to the next level, with a set of anthemic songs into which is poured enough energy to power a whole festival. The is a band that is naturally the headliner for any show. See them next at the Glastonbudget festival, where they are sure to make a considerable impact.artsinleicestershire.co.uk/gigreviews
