Seeing Bombay Bicycle Club and Pulled Apart By Horses live within three hours of eachother, it's easy to assume that a little known metal band will be head and shoulders below one of the most highly regarded indie bands around. Maybe when it comes to the overall quality of the music, perhaps BBC are the more preferable artists, but personally, I would pay to see PDBH any day. The 45 minutes spent being thrown around by strangers seeing Pulled Apart by Horses was certainly preferable to the 5 minutes spent straining my ears to hear Jack Steadman's voice before finally exiting the crowd and doing something else. There is no joy or rush seeing a band, however much you may like them, standing still with their guitars quietly playing music that could be so exciting and interesting if it was only performed in an exciting and interesting way. I am not denying the musical talent of Bombay Bicycle Club and others like them -  they are one of the most talented bands around today. However, the performing talent of indie groups is nothing to that of crappy metal bands.
