MUSIC: Don Broco at Rock City

I first saw Don Broco supporting You Me At Six nearly two years ago and I was really impressed with how they managed to move an entire crowd even if you didn't know their music you couldn't help but dance along to their pop/rock sound. So when I heard they were touring, after obsessing over their 'Automatic' album release there was no question on whether I was going to see them, because the answer was always going to be yes.

Myself and Scott managed to get tickets at Rock City in Nottingham the other night and it was such an incredible gig, and a different experience for myself at a concert. We unfortunately missed the first two supports due to finishing work late and Nethen traffic but we got there in time to see Coasts. Surprisingly I recognised a few of their songs and they were really entertaining and strong performers. They got the crowd moving and at the mention of Fifa got the lads singing along to them. I'll definitely be checking their debut album when it's released in January.

It was then time for Don Broco themselves and you could already tell that it was going to be an amazing gig with the crowd singing along at the top of their voices to music playing in the break. The guys began with 'I Got Sick' but it was 'You Wanna Know' that got the audience going mental, jumping about, it was sometimes hard to keep up with the rest of the crowd but it was in those moments where myself and Scott got from near the back to the front.

If there's one thing that Don Broco know how to do, it's definitely how to have fun. They interacted with the crowd announcing it was time for 'The Push-up Squad' (how it sounds) and a guy jumping from the stage into the crowd. It was definitely a lot rougher than I expected it to be, but I loved it all the while. The band, clearly, enjoyed the gig themselves. They threw themselves into each song and performed. Rob sounded incredible throughout and entertained the entire crowd through his movement around the stage. After you've seen them live you can't help but do the Rob Damiani dance, it's contagious.

My favourite songs throughout the gig were 'What You Do To Me', 'Yeah Man' 'Further' and 'Nerve'. They were simply incredible and the atmosphere in the room was magnetic there wasn't a single person who wasn't up jumping and joining in with the Mexican wave, or singing. There was crowd surfing, much to the security's enjoyment. Whilst standard of performance you cannot compare Don Broco with the Mumford and Sons gig we went to a few weeks ago, Don Broco was definitely the most fun. Definitely check them out if they're playing near you any time soon because there is no doubt you'll enjoy yourself. You might come home aching a little bit. but its definitely worth it. My recommendation if your girl or smaller build. go with someone who will look after you and push  you forward but makes sure you avoid getting hurt. Luckily for me, that's what Scott did and we both had a great time without any injuries.
