From 27th January to 2nd February, it was Independent Venue Week here in the UK, a 7-day celebration of music venues across the country, giving a nod to people that own, run and work in them 24/7. British pop-punkers, Roam, hailing from Eastbourne, recently went out on a regional UK tour, with support from Bristol-based band, Superlove. The band’s goal was to play some smaller sweaty shows and I think it’s safe to say they got their wish! If the tour wasn’t already cool enough, Roam also invited two local bands to play at each date. I headed to the Liverpool show last week at Jacaranda Records’ Phase One and got the chance to see two very talented local bands, Overset and Decay.
