"Harry potter and the punk-aesthetics” huh? What perfect synergy!
Who would
have known? Harry and the Potters are a trillion times better as a live act,
than as recording artists. It turns out that the cure for off-pitch harmonies
and horrible generic pop-melodies is simply a little bit of that good old rock
& roll attitude.
The Potters
are giving their audience all they got in this performance, whether it’s wild
rants (“Saving Ginny Weasley”) or sonic attacks (“ Keeping Secrets From Me”)They
even got a brass band in for their last perfomances, which lends actual
musicianship to the otherwise amateurish Degeorge Brothers, ending the concert
with an fitting full-band finale.
Enjoyable
really, the atmosphere is so thrilling that we are able to forget the horrible
songwriting and the lack of musical talent. Hardcore punk opener “Harry Potter”
is defiantly pushing the gears, and we even get some nice sing-alongs of the
more goofy nature (“Accio Hagrid”).
But to be
honest there are too many missteps, and when the song doesn’t work, it really
doesn’t work. These moments are so tedious, that even if some tracks get you
pumped up, you are sure to fall of your broom and fall to the dark powers of
Lord Voldemort. Still:
This is a triumph in Wrock, despite all the
detours! And I really wanna see them live, as soon as possible!
3/5
