Obsessive Compulsive at Walkabout, 10.15pm (CH)

"Hi guys, thanks for coming to see us in this bizarre venue. You know who we are."  Thus Obsessive Compulsive's front woman Kelii kicks off a confident and brutal set. This girl has an impressive set of vocal cords, which she uses thoughtfully, flitting from warm solid mid-tones to a throaty Kat Bjelland growl where appropriate. Dark, tense and not quite as thunderously loud tonight as they should have been, OC trade well-structured grungy songs and tight changes with a heavier, metal guitar solo edge. This band have clearly worked hard to build a loyal following, and are the real underground deal. They are worth sitting up and taking notice of.
