whirlwind heat - john
After the horribly annoying Bowling For Soup crowd trickled out of Emo’s for the early show… the crowd for the kick-ass late show arrived at Emo’s to witness some great live performers: Whirlwind Heat.
I had only heard the rock and roll styling of Whirlwind Heat on the internet and had been impressed with the breadth of sound the 3 manage to pull off and after witnessing the incredibly energetic group in person I can’t help put recommended them in the utmost. Between the tight-as-hell drums and the thrashing energy of front man David Swanson the group pulled off a set that was bizarrely and simultaneously full of sound and sparsely accented with moog melody. The bass lines and driving off kilter drums provided the bulk of music while Swanson blocked out all sense of restraint society has ever enforced on him and thrashed, flailed and screamed about the Emo’s stage.
The group took themselves very seriously as demonstrated by their matching sneakers, bare chests and matching Frankenstein-like scar tattoos. The uniformity pays off in a big way for this young band because it shows a sense of seriousness to their quest. It didn’t come off gimmicky like the band that takes the stage after Crucial Taunt in Wayne’s World – the Jolly Green Giants- it comes off like a well-oiled team or tight group of friends who all shop at the same store.
Whirlwind Heat is perfect for fans of music with a fun and aggressive edge and for fans of perfect pop songs with that Moog sound that is oh-so the rage right now.
