The Kaos - These guys are one of the first bands I ever reviewed live, so it was nice to check out their new material and see how they have progressed.

The answer in some ways is not far, in others its miles! They still ply a very recognisable, generic trade in pop-punk. If you are familiar with Blink 182, New Found Glory or All Time Low then you are half way there - certainly not particularly original stuff. But, the intervening years (four, almost exactly, since that night at The Swan in Wantage) have seen big strides in the quality of the songs, and there is a great, jump up and down, smile on face, sense of fun with these tunes, which, let’s be honest, is what you expect and want from a pop-punk record.
