Lower Than Atlantis

Lower Than Atlantis Live Review

Friday 5th Oct at Glasgow Garage

We had the pleasure of interviewing Dec Hart, bassist for Lower Than Atlantis at The Garage in Glasgow. We also hung out to catch the show afterwards. With Gnarwolves along with our friends Don Broco and The Dangerous Summer supporting, this was definitely a great line up, a must go to Glasgow gig. 

As we entered the main hall before any of the acts had even set foot on the stage, it was already packed. This, straightaway told me that these guys definitely have an awesome fan base. I managed to speak to a few people who told me they were there just to see Don Broco -the same people at the end of the night who were buying Lower Than Atlantis merch and telling me how they have a new favourite band!

As the first support act Gnarwolves took the stage the crowd were already chanting LTA, but they were going to have to wait a little longer. Gnarwolves kicked off their set with what I can only describe as noise. The crowd didn’t seem to pleased with what they had to offer, and a short set later, Don Broco were on the stage completely killing it! With their well known walk and entertaining dance moves they had the crowd going crazy for them and even joining in. They performed a set consisting mostly of songs from their newest album ‘Priorities’ and even managed to perform an oldie ‘Thug Workout’ which just made fans go absolutely mental. The crowd were completely theirs and the energy in the room just kept getting bigger and bigger. They then asked the crowd to create a mosh pit/wall and I’m  not kidding, this was probably one of the biggest I’ve ever seen. It was fantastic!

Next to take the stage were The Dangerous Summer from the US. They tried to keep the energy at a high, although it was a little difficult for them as their set consisted of slower songs. The crowd responded great to the band, although I think it might have just been frontman AJ’s American accent they liked! Their set was great and they played a mix of songs from ‘War Paint’ and ‘Reach for the Sun’ and they also played my favourite song ‘Where I want to be’. They kept the crowd happy and the room was now buzzing with excitement for Lower Than Atlantis to take the stage.

With the crowd chanting LTA, the band walked on stage to a roar of applause and screaming. They started the set with ‘Love Someone Else’ from their newest album ‘Changing Tune’ and the crowd are going crazy for it. They perform a bunch of songs from albums ‘Far Q’, ‘World Record and ‘Changing Tune’ and it pleases the crowd. The crowd were hanging on their every lyric throughout the entire set. ‘Beech Like The Tree’ seemed to be a crowd favourite. The band continued to blast through their set and perform every song perfectly. Despite frontman Mike Duce being ill the band still manage to smash it and play possibly one of their best gigs to date. As the band finish their set, they leave the stage with the crowd still chanting their name. As the famous Glasgow ‘Here we fu#*ing  go’ is being screamed at the empty stage. Lower Than Atlantis return to perform ‘Another Sad Song’ and ‘Deadliest Catch’. The crowd sing along with them and it was definitely the best part of the night. The band were flawless.
