| “if
ever there was a prize for the most under-rated band on the south coast,
then weymouth trio vext would win hands down. the first song was a bit
of a disconcerting as guitarist paul’s hand was a blur with no
discernible audio result but that was soon remedied. vext are an
astonishing blend of deep wound; early minutemen and maybe a smidge of
(first two eps) rudimentary peni. if you’ve not heard them recently
don’t judge them on their early recordings, because vext are now
pretty special indeed.” |

roe’s love-lorn punks upstaged by support bands “on
a night like this you really feel like going up to the support bands and
giving them a big hug. the bad brains-style racket of dorset-based trio
vext and the poppy euro-punk of everest (germany) and snowdogs (london
via finland and america) are saving graces on a night that would
otherwise have been a total washout.”
