They've got the songs, the attitude, but most of all they've brought the darkness (not the early-noughties glam-rock band) to Red Bull Bedroom Jam. Skin-tight black threads? Check. Tattoos? Uh-huh. Enough eyeliner to put Amy Winehouse to shame? Yes, let's go.

Launching into the song Never Ever Land, the four murky shadows bathed in green light in Suite 102 of the Cavendish Hotel erupt into a flurry of flailing limbs and stadium poses. Bassist Simon Rowlands' guitar somehow just misses the face of singer Laurence René on numerous occasions. It all goes down like some carefully choreographed kung-fu scene. Except you feel the lack of a serious injury is more down to knowing each other's moves after playing shows all over the UK and abroad together for the last two and a half years.

New single Thanks For Nothing follows. Building quietly with the help of a frankly rather unnerving falsetto from drummer Jonathan Gaskin, the band fill in with more screams and room-wrecking carnage among the synth-driven goth-pop.

It's all a lot of fun. Their angst-ridden persona is balanced out with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek Spinal Tap style ridiculousness. Speaking earlier, guitarist John Be recalled a gig where his peroxide blonde hair was too bright for the stagelights. "I kept trying to move into the spotlight but they kept moving it off me" he explained. This lot aren't shy about trying to grab people's attention.

The band finish with Play Dirty. "Thanks for sticking with us, thanks for staying online," says Laurence to the band's dedicated army of fans who have stuck it out through technical difficulties to watch their performance on the Bedroom Jam website.

With passion to spare and songs to match, the band needn't have been worried. Listen to their new track Thanks For Nothing by clicking below.
