The venue is packed and everyone is standing in front of the stage in anticipation for Sound of Guns to come on and start the show. Sound of guns walk straight through the crowd to get to the stage and go straight into 'Elementary of youth'. This being one of their most famous songs from their debut album 'what came from fire' went down well with the crowd. This got the crowd going and dancing around. This was followed up with more songs from 'what came from fire' including their latest single 'breakwater'.
As the show continued the crowd get more and more relaxed as people are jumping around and dancing. Sound of Guns then slow the pace down with '106 (still the words)' and an acoustic version of 'collisions'. This has the crowd swaying and singing along with the band. They then pick up the pace again by going straight into Antarctica.
Through 'Bullets in the Blood Stream', Andy (lead singer) climbs from the stage onto the bar where people are still standing and having a drink and sings the song from there. Everybody starts taking photos of him as he was standing right above them still continuing to sing the song.
The penultimate song is 'Architects' which is another crowd pleaser. The final song is 'Alcatraz'. Everyone goes mental as it is the last song. Andy (lead singer) climbs up above the door almost pulling down half of the wall. Everyone goes mental as Andy is standing above them. The crowd clap and chant the song back to him as they look up at him in ore. He finishes the song whilst up there and the crowd go crazy clapping and screaming. To me, 'Alcatraz' was the best song to finish on and the best song of the night!
