One of the industrys rising stars, Dogs Die In Hot Cars have been playing their unique blend of indie rock in the UK for the past couple of years and have now got to the point where they are playing on the second stage at a festival.
Formed like most bands, out of friendship and then deciding to get a van and start touring, DDIHCs influences range from the Chilli Peppers to Nirvana and it shows with the clean sound that they produce. As only the second act of the festival, they walk out to a crowd that swamp the stage as if it were much later in the day.
Opening to a rapturous applause and proceeding through their hits ranging from older material to the likes of their recent Godhopping. It is hard to not get drawn in to the performance and most people seem to be finding themselves tapping their feet along.
They might attract a larger crowd but headliners they are not. The set seems to fluctuate between moments of musical mastery and seconds later it all just seems to drift away and your mind begins to wander before you are again foot-tapping.
No matter what you can say about DDIHC for a band that are still doing everything they can to build their name, they deserve success. There are moments when their music takes over and leaves its imprint on you and this is something that they seem to be getting better at every time they play. If you get to see them youll definitely end up taking something from the set, even if there are still areas in which they fall down.
