Taken from www.punktastic.com - check it out for the full review of the show.
It had been a while since Id seen Brighton skate-punk heroes PHINIUS GAGE last, in fact, too long. I forget how good this band are, and when I say good I mean bloody brilliant. Aggressive; fast; catchy; energetic; convincing and clinical are all words I could use to describe this lot live and tonight was no exception. Its not often you see bands play with this much conviction so regularly as I cant ever remember PG playing a bad set in the last few years. An airing of their new single, Broken Wings, was a highlight, along with blastings of what can be described as UK skate-punk anthems such as Fires Burning and Timmy. Long live double-time, long live the GAGE. (8.5)
