Waste open Standon Calling with energetic set

Waste today opened the annual festival in the tiny village of Standon. Nestling in the rolling hills in Hertfordshire just off the A10 and only a few miles away from London, Standon Calling is one of the best 'small' festivals around. And Waste today opened up the weekend after winning a competition.


The band from Stevenage - not far from Standon - played a solid set of energetic songs, some reminiscent of a young Arctic Monkeys crossed with vocals that reminded us of Damon Albarn's Gorillaz project. With a solid fan-base down the front the band were lapping up the attention, the highlight of the set was their track "Blow" - which we had as our 'Track of the week' earlier in the year - and as more and more people gathered towards the end of their set.

Finishing off with a solid new track expect to see them on the bill next year, and hopefully more festivals too!
