HOPE OF THE STATES (Bristol Strange Brew, 14/10/25)

"WE ARE THE HOPELESS MISTAKES, WE STAND SIDE BY SIDE, ONCE MORE THE BROKEN-HEARTED SIDE BY SIDE". There are few songs I listened to more as a pitiful undergrad than "Angels Over Kilburn" so to finally hear it performed live justified the cost of this trip to Bristol alone. Rest of the set was splendid too- more polished than the first reunion gigs, with the new songs earning their place on the setlist. If this is the last tour they do, they leave on a high; but I have my suspicions we haven't heard the last of them.
