intro
Glaswegian female four piece the Hedrons have been attracting good reviews, but Helen Tipping is not impressed by their heavy metal riff guitar theatricals at show at Night and Day in Manchester
The Hedrons are a female four piece from Glasgow, and are touring to promote their new album and single. Despite going on late and much of the crowd having disappeared after the support, the Hedrons start off well with fast guitars, and punky tunes. Singer Tippi is very expressive with a voice that veers from high and girly to deep and the sound is clear. I have hopes that this is going to be a good gig. Unfortunately this doesn’t last and after a while the guitar solos and vocals all start to sound a bit like Girlschool, and heavy metal riffs abound. After the punky, and occasionally grungy start to the set, this is a bit of a disappointment, and I am relieved when the time comes to disappear into the night.
