Making their debut at EFest this summer is The Corsairs.
A three piece band from Oxford, playing a mix of ska and punk covers with a unique rockabilly twist.
Guaranteed to get everyone up singing and dancing, and sure to be a great hit and perfect to set the tone for the weekend.
The Corsairs formed in 1991 and are a three-piece from Oxford and Hampshire. Taking the to stage frontman Mark Loveridge lets the audience know what to expect from the get go! Speaking to Mark, he said: “We’re gonna give you some different stuff I hope you like it”. Mainly offering covers they play what feels like double the breakneck speed you would normally expect from psychobilly. I spent most of their set trying to gauge if the tempo was double or triple time. Before they took us off on a whirlwind sonic journey Loveridge asked “Any Rancid fans out there? Good, this is called ‘Timebomb’”. From here on in the antics of the band held the audience in thrall as they cavorted relentlessly daring the audience to keep up.
Look forward to a band that will deliver was almost manic at points, high level energy powering through their performance. Without a blink of an eye the band go from the cover of the Primatives ‘Crash’ and then straight into the likes of Tenploe Tudor’s ‘Swords Of A Thousand Men’, and somehow the audience manage to keep up, word perfect on the chorus. The flawless and tight delivery is infectious. Everyone will be on their dancing and singing along arms pumping into the air, the tempo fast, enthusiasm strong.
The band will take you on a chaotic journey Punk to Motörhead, are you ready?! You better be, this is going to be a headline act you do not want to miss! So for the best experience, get front of stage and into the mosh pit, Entertainment Swindon will definitely be there!
All this with a rockabilly twist!
