On a return visit to Oxford after their Radio One Sound City début at the Dolly, Scuba certainly haven't lost any of the poise that won so many praises last time around. Their own brand of muscular pop showcases sheer energy, tempered with a keen sense of melody and a mischievous desire to surprise. Mid set, a couple of numbers floundered into the perilous waters of "cheery pop", but fortunately the next thunderous slice of melody always pulled them to safety. "Kids are clever" and "In my car" deserve particular mention here. A breeze of summery guitars broken by sharp icy blasts of inspiration - this kicks traditional guitar pop into touch. After only a 30 minute set, you're left believing the best is yet to come, and these four are destined for great things.
