We Were Promised Jetpacks
Manchester, Roadhouse

Another abysmal wet and windy Mancunian evening. Cue a squall of guitars and thunderous drums, Adam Thompson belts out impassioned lyrics about being born and keeping warm and suddenly the weather outside doesn’t seem so bad. Accidental anthem ‘Quiet Little Voices’ is dispatched early allowing We Were Promised Jetpacks to concentrate on the stream of excellent songs from debut ‘These Four Walls’. ‘Short Bursts’ brings the set crashing to an end and leaves The Fly steeled to face the still raging storm.
