Play Guitar

You know when you're 13 and you've been listening to Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and some Saves the Day record all week, and you're completely immersed and infatuated with what you're hearing? Then, one day you have this epiphany that you can play this music, and you go and beg your mother to buy you a guitar? Halifax's Play Guitar totally exemplify this situation, which is exciting, nostalgic and bright. They bopped around the stage, all smiles, and blasted us with '90s pop rock nostalgia. Okay, okay, Halifax is cool, and there was nothing better than the Youth Club Records showcase to prove it.
