Our Worlds Collide @The Sunflower Lounge

The night of music selected by Uncover on the 29th of March at The Sunflower Lounge was kickstarted by Small World Theory with their cover of ‘Covet’ by Basement: true to the original but featured the band’s own style and presence. Keeping the drums going through the transition into their first original, ‘Hentacoop’, set the scene for a fluid set. ‘Hentacoop’, to be featured on their upcoming EP, showcased the band’s continued enthusiasm with its vocal-like and reverb-heavy guitar lines that characterise their sound, and demonstrated a different dimension to singer Rue’s voice. Small World Theory’s cover of ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ showed a brighter and lighter dimension to the band as a whole, whilst still retaining their rock edge. Their choice of covers, including ‘Dive’ by Talkers and ‘Nice Dream’ by Radiohead tell us of their inspirations, the distorted, trippy and warm sound of the latter to close their set summarised their instrumental direction well. Small World Theory will be one to watch for sure – with more performances will come the confidence for the band to try and engage the crowd more and to showcase the full range of talents in the band, which will surely make them a formidable act.
