The Longest Day Chords Poole May 20th 2010

We arrived at the venue around 7pm, not having a clue where to go, I've been past Chords many times but never been in to the place and I didn't realise that there was an up stairs! There was a good crowd at the doors when they opened, the Longest Day were to be the first band on being the special guest for the Poole date on INME's UK tour.

I have videoed the whole set and I am slowly adding the video to youtube at the moment, so you'll get a rough idea yourselves as to how good The Longest Day are. I'm afraid the sound is distorted this is entirely due to the limitations of my Canon camera,  I can assure you that they sounded very impressive live. They played 8 songs off their first album State of Indifference if the album is as good as their live performance then we the listeners are in for a real treat.
Their songs are melodic heavy rock, with a fresh contemporary feel, their music goes beyond the boundaries of heavy Metal and for commercial success that is vital. I enjoyed all the bands playing but The Longest Day were definitely my favourite, I am biased but even if I wasn't I would say the same, because their songs contain extra elements that I found lacking in the other bands playing, texture and variety! If you play at a constant tempo, constant levels, constant heaviness, too me the set will begin to sound a little monotonous and although all the bands playing were excellent musicians I couldn't really engage with the other bands music. 
Ross, Lee, Dan, Allan and Chloe (Their Booking agent) are all extremely approachable and really do all they can to talk and engage with their fans. They are focused on their future but at the same time don't take themselves too seriously, I really enjoyed my night out in Poole, if you can Catch up with The Longest Day soon!
