The Sums @ The Roadhouse – Manchester 9th April
Words by Marcus Winder.
It had been 15 years since The Sums last played Manchester when they were then called Smaller and still holding the front line is Peter “Digsy” Deary.
Rip roaring from the start “Is” off the critically acclaimed album “Badly Badly” flowed into“Start at the Finish” the title track of the new album. The Sums then launch into one of the classicSmaller tracks “Cliche” with the excellent riffs of Watson and the ironic lyrics of Digsy, this is a track which still sounds fresh. Moving through tracks off the new album and the second album “If Only” we get treated to the blues soaked “Spilt Milk” and the excellent new single “Its You” which sounds stunning live.
