Live Review: Hey Sholay + Spring Offensive @ The Lock Tavern

Hey Sholay and Spring Offensive live at The Lock Tavern, London (18 Sept '12) // Words: Saam Das

It's been a little while since I last popped into the upstairs area of The Lock Tavern in Camden but it remains as "cosy" as ever. Thankfully, the weather is relatively mild as the room temperature increases steadily by the minute when the bands take to the stage - tonight's out of town offerings, Oxford's Spring Offensive and Northerners Hey Sholay.

I think any fervent music fan can relate to the overwhelming number of bands bombarding us from all directions, at all times. This is somewhat more heightened for the average music blogger. There's an element of fatigue as a result. Which can be my only excuse for never properly checking out Hey Sholay - their most recent single, the thrilling anthem 'Burning'.
