Photos: Telegram stun at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, London

7 February, 2015: The Anglo-Welsh four-piece, Telegram, are a band that anyone even vaguely interested in guitar music either already knows about - or else should put at the forefront of their listening plans. Making the true mark of their promise on London followers, the band tear apart Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. Check out our awesome, exclusive photos from the gig here. 

They produce a hybrid of ballsy punk reminiscent of The Buzzcocks and psych rock circa 1970s Eno or Hawkwind. Excitingly, however, they don't merely resemble great bands of the past: they play an important role in the present.

The absence of a debut album after two years of touring is notable, however, their following is huge, even without the weight of an album to propel them: people are struggling to get in tonight and many are left gazing past the crowd to get a glimpse of the rockers. It goes to show how far consistently electrify live performances can go. An album though - when it arrives - will hopefully capture the spirit of these early gigs: documenting their stylish, psych punk sound for future generations to hear what London's most exciting underground sounds were in 2015. Not to mention see the gig atmosphere bulge as the songs become familiar. Let's hope it isn't too far away.
