The Gutter Twins at The Leadmill

We had a scary twilight drive across the moors from Manchester to Sheffield... It could have been worse - it could have been Saddleworth! But even the Yorkshire moors had an eery feel as you wind your way up into the clouds and back down again...

The Gutter Twins overcame a somewhat dead sound for the first few songs and put in a good performance at The Leadmill. I must admit I hadn't heard anything by them but musically I wasn't surprised that it sounded like Afghan Whigs. Vocally, there is a lot of the Whigs when Greg Dulli sings and his vocals work well with Mark Lanegan. Lanegan's deep vocal sounds like Iggy when it's good but with a voice that deep, there is a fine line between sounding like Iggy Pop and Metallica...
