Cut Off Your Hands
Barfly, 17th July
Review By Joan Losa
One of Cut Off Your Hands strengths is their ability to convert sixties melodies into Punk Pop. Songs like Oh Girl and Happy As Can Be combine Pop and Excellence merges sweetness with the rudeness and frenzy of Punk itself.
Last night the Auckland quartet, lead by the always restless Nick Johnston, offered fans a serious concert, but far less aggressive than others (it is said that Johnston broke his leg one night jumping from the stage).
Their best songs of the night, Still Fond and You And I, sounded powerful but maintained the freshness and spontaneity with which they were recorded.
To sum up, the band left us with a good taste in our mouths due to their pleasant backing vocals, imaginative riffs from Michael Ramirez, and the efficient bass lines from Phil Hadfield, and of course, the charismatic Nick Johnston as a ‘master of ceremonies.’
