Live Review : SOS Festival on July 3rd 2022

3rd day, and my 3rd drive-in, but as I'm only driving in from Bury so there's no drama. I arrive, park, flash the pass and get my camera out just in time to see We Three Kings, who open up Sunday morning on the outdoor stage. They are a Manchester-based trio that delivers (and delivers really well) no-messin' rock n roll.

Day two starts early (well, earlier than Friday), and has 13 bands plying their wares today. It opens with relative newcomers Unknown Refuge and they instantly get the crowd to wake up or at least look up from their first pints of the day. If this Bolton-based band of youngsters are anything to go by, we are in for a belter of a day today. These very talented guys not only wrote, recorded, mixed, produced and released their debut album (“From the Darkness”) during lockdown, but they also built their own practice and recording facilities.

Live Review : Call of the Wild Festival 2022 - Day 2

I realise as I am going about my morning ablutions that looking at the schedule there is no way I am going to be able to catch every band over the next 3 days. It’s already a late start for me (because bacon) so I decide to just roll with it and see as much as I can. Those I’ve missed, I will try to catch you elsewhere later in the year.

The first victims of the Bacon Incident are Steal The City, who sounded okay from the campervan! So the first band of the day for me was Twister. They play melodic hard rock and are from the north east.
