Snapping to attention the tech kills the soft-rock blaring from the PA and the Bellrays explode into a set of the most attention-grabbing raw soulful and knock-you-to-your-knees-powerful garage rock to which you will ever treat your ears.

The last time I caught The BellRays was getting on for nearly four years ago now. The location was Prestatyn in North Wales and the occasion was what turned out to be the very last All Tomorrows Parties festival.
