Live reviews

• Apoptygma Berzerk

  Apoptygma Berzerk’s fresh synthpop sound juxtaposed with ballads and electronic music created what they themselves call future pop. The band, despite several line up changes over the years, have had much success with their music and their performances today are almost as strong as they were back in the early 90s, in fact, if anything their instrumental talents have improved.

  With six studio albums under their belt, I wasn’t sure how the band were going to select their set, but they did a great job of almost evenly selecting tracks from all over their career, culminating with a few of their favourite tracks from the newest album, Rocket Science.

  All of the band members were incredibly talented, and Stephan Groth’s distinctive voice which has kept the foundations of the band grounded over the years was, of anything, stronger than it had been 10 years ago. The whole band were great at getting everyone on board with the set and would shout out ‘sing along everybody, one more time now’ and they won over the audience from start to finish.
