Tom: I saw City Stereo live last week, and – my word – they deserved to be so much more than the first support act. Live, they are stunning, with every bit of stage presence that you’d expect from a band that have supported McFly in the past.
Tim: Hmm, not bad.
Tom: If they’re not live, though; they seem a lot more generic, somehow. Still very good, but that energy that I saw on stage – that converted a dull early-night crowd to enthusiastic cheering – just doesn’t quite translate. Most pop-punk bands can sound like this with a decent producer, but to sing and play that well live on stage takes some serious talent.
Also, I feel I should mention the gratuitous partial nudity in the video. I’m not complaining at all, just mentioning it.
Tim: When have you ever complained about partial nudity?
Tom: In a music video? Not since Robbie Williams in Rock DJ, I reckon. Put me right off my lunch.
