GIG REVIEW: Girls In Synthesis, Zerox, Newcastle, Thursday 8 December 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Girls In Synthesis<\/a><\/strong> were formed in London in late 2016, and were soon being talked about as one of the most explosive live acts in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand-picked for support slots with bands including Bad Breeding, Slaves, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs and Wolf Alice, they quickly earned a reputation as one of the most intense bands around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They first crossed my radar a couple of years ago, when I heard the compilation album Pre-Post, a collection of their early EPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was immediately impressed by their post-punk\/noise-rock mash-up, and marked them out as a band to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n

Their 2020 debut album Now Here’s An Echo From Your Future<\/em> (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>), confirmed my belief that they were a major emerging talent in the underground punk scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s follow-up The Rest Is Distraction<\/em> further underlined that, and made me even more determined to see them live at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That opportunity arrived this week, when they played their first-ever Newcastle show at Zerox, an intimate venue on the city’s Quayside.<\/p>\n\n\n

And I was not disappointed, as despite the brevity of their show, it was one of the most urgent and visceral gigs I’ve attended in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After enjoyable warm-up sets by two local bands, Smuj and Rudi Betamax, GIS walked on stage, plugged in, and simply blew us away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They write songs about personal and political issues, but it’s their raw power which makes them stand out in the crowded post-punk scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise rock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Influenced by the likes of Crass, the Banshees and Killing Joke, their sound is based around shards of guitar, juddering basslines and pummeling drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Linger (bass\/vocals), Jim Cubitt (guitar\/keys) and Nicole Pinto (drums) might only be a three-piece, but they make a hugely impressive noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim and John share vocals, and sing facing each other, sideways-on to the audience. This seems to drive them on, almost oblivious to the fact there’s a crowd there at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening with the single Watch With Mother<\/em>, one of the standout tracks on their latest album, they blaze through a 45-minute set which showcases their raw power.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Their short but brutal set consists of just 10 songs, each one seemingly delivered with more ferocity than the last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half the set comes from the latest album, and three songs from their other 2022 release, the Konsumrausch <\/em>mini-album (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pressure <\/em>is the only track from the first album which makes the cut – two minutes of screeching feedback, tribal drums and barely-contained rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only survivor from the early EPs is We Might Not Make Tomorrow<\/em>, which signposts that GIS are clearly a band who believe in moving forward, not looking back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re one of the most essential bands I’ve seen in years, and I’d thoroughly recommend catching them live. You might want to take ear plugs though\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
