Let me paint the scene for you:A late night, the scattered stars twinkling in the dark sky, the wind blew briskly as we wait outside of a little bar in the centre of York. “Fibbers” was the place. The place that many people would share a special feeling, a united atmosphere intense and life changing, A night that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. Anxious shuffling and whispers carry down the line as the doors open and begin to allow us entry, handing over the ticket that was our life line to pure ecstasy (without the nasty side effects and addiction).This was a gig, a gig with the potential to have been the greatest gig in my entire music journalist career. This was ‘Against Odds, an unsigned band from Darlington, County Durham starting in 2006 by four close friends, and have rose through the ranks and was now several thousand fans strong in many parts of the world (mostly the UK and America) working the “rock/metal screamo” scene in their own fantastic way, combining the styles of bands such as ‘Escape The Fate’, ‘Asking Alexandria’ and ‘A Skylit Drive’ to create the perfect sounds, rhythm, harmony and lyrics and meld them into songs that not only want to make you smash stuff and jump face first off the stage into the crowd but also have lyrics that you can’t help but sing (or scream) along to, The strums of the guitar deafening as the slam through the small venue a well as the room full of screaming fans as the first song starts to merge from the inhuman sized amps.Opening with songs from their first album ‘Without Wings’ which they produced first on their own and then later re recorded it professionally with their own money along with their later album ‘6 Feet Deep’, from which, songs were also played. Lead singer Rachel and lead guitar/scream vocalist Mikey surprised us all with announcements of songs from their new unreleased album, to all but those involved in the making of it, the name still a mystery.
