CREEPER
SAVE FACE / THE NIGHTMARES SHEPHERD’S BUSH EMPIRE, LONDON
Southampton’s cult horrorpunks enter the Twilight zone
Creeper deliver an epic and eldritch spectacle
BEN GIBSON
THE AIR IS thick with expectation for Creeper tonight, but there’s a healthy turnout for openers THE NIGHTMARES. Not exactly Hammer fodder, this Welsh outfit with a penchant for 80s goth rock still pack a punch with their lofty, synth-driven sound. Taking things to another level, though, are New Jersey’s SAVE FACE, who are so over-thetop thanks to larger-than-life frontman Tyler Povanda that you can’t help but love them a little bit by their emphatic end.
