Nevertheless, a band by any other name would sound as sweet, and the change in their imagined branding hasn’t stopped them from being branded the newest cool-kids on the alt-rock block.

A lot of their performance doesn’t sound like it would (or should) work, especially on paper-but it did, and we’re looking forward to seeing which stages they’ll take (or take over) next. Their hooks and harmonies could be repetitive, but that might just be what makes them so appealing to a festival crowd. This might also be a credit to their oddly hybrid sound-pitch them and their music up and you get something like 100 gecs, pitch them down and you’re closer to The 1975. It’s a solid effort at the notoriously hard task of pulling off electropop for a live audience, and they do admirably well, their unique sound keeping the crowd (of predominantly rock fans, at that) entertained.

The trio have clearly kept their teenage enthusiasm, which is reflected just as much from their performance as the songs being performed-their set blends together material from their 2021 mixtape Float On with newer releases, giving the crowd half-an-hour of glitchy, warped electronic pop to dance to. The three young men-Jack, Wale and Adam-exude a lot of energy despite the stripped-down set they strike you as four guys who would just as easily be seen doing band practice in one of their parents’ garages after school (which is almost how Jack and Wale originally started out, minus the garage).
