Attic Theory are again another band that defies easy categorisation; whilst they obviously can rock out with the best of them, there is also an intelligence and thoughtfulness about their arrangements that, dare I say it, is almost at times prog-like in its complexity, albeit in a very powerful, heavy and modern way. ‘Million Little Things’ for instance, starts with a sumptuous guitar riff and introspective vocal gradually intensifying into an amazingly ferocious guitar part. ‘Papier-Mache’ and ‘Narrow Lines’ equally have startlingly insightful lyrics and a mesmerising, all-consuming sound, that in the live setting is both intoxicating and hypnotic.  Attic Theory live are a delightful contradiction of being at the same time rocking and punchy, but also delicate and subtle whilst carrying an emotional heft that is really quite superb.
