Agent Blue

With a crowd that have quite clearly heard of agent Blue, the bands name is being shouted almost continually from the tightly-packed crowd before their set opens to a front-man that performs as if his entire life depended on the next thirty minutes.

One thing has to be done before the band can launch in to their full blown set – a cigarette has to be lit so that the band’s front-man can strut to the front of the stage in true-rock style.

With the crowd under his spell and cigarette thrown in to the photo-pit, the swaggering front-man continually jumps off stage and launches himself in to the crowd. This all culminates with him diving in to the crowd several times during the final song of their set.

Until now, Agent Blue were a band whose name I’d heard all over the place – yet never actually got around to listening to. As I leave The Carling Stage, Agent Blue’s heavy, intense, deep riffing has left me remembering one of the best performances that Leeds Festival has seen.
