With the Stereophonics headline UK tour just around the corner Kelly Jones’s men pulled into Lincoln to perform the last of their warm up shows at the Engine Shed. Of course, the idea of a warm up show is generally focussed on preparing for the full onslaught of a rigorous touring schedule that also exploits life on the road. But with over a decade in the business under their belt, Stereophonics are fired up to blitzkrieg the highly intimate crowd, rather than merely ‘warm-up.’

Xfm’s tenth birthday celebrations have been in full swing since August and Razorlight have not been seen in the UK since their headline slots at this years Reading and Leeds Festivals. So it’s a welcoming return following a series of European dates for Johnny Borrell’s men.

The wind in Liverpool tonight is so cold it is sending radiators into over drive and making this hack wish he was in bed with a hot water bottle. It’s freezing. As The Bronx begin their set our shirt begins to wave and a draught is apparent, “Surely it can’t be windy inside?” we think. It isn’t. It is actually just the raw power of The Bronx’s tunes that are causing the floor to vibrate and with it our clothes, feet and minds.
