The Young Knives - NME/Radio 1 stage
Far more restrained are Loughborough’s Young Knives, who managed to pack out the Radio 1 Stage, just minutes later. Having been rejuvenated by the recent Mercury nomination of their debut album the three piece seem determined to raise the tent’s roof today, which given the cut throat riffage and acidic lyrical wit they have in the locker, seems all too easy. “Here Comes The Rumour Mill”, “Part Timer” and “She’s Attracted To” alongside a clutch of new songs, all go down exceptionally well with the crowd. They exit promising to return next year, we’ll hold them to that!Tom Goodwyn
