Heavyskint delivered an extraordinary performance at King Tut’s, marked by intense energy and exceptional crowd engagement. The vocals were raw, scratching, and at times almost drunken, perfectly complementing the edgy tone of the music. Guitarist Jaime Kelly was excellent at setting mood and texture, but the undeniable star of the show was Jacob Hunter. He commanded the stage from the moment he appeared, moving with effortless charisma and holding the audience’s attention completely. His energy was palpable, and it was clear he was genuinely enjoying himself — a rare and infectious quality.

The band’s live presence far exceeded what their online material conveys, demonstrating the power of performance in bringing music to life. The set culminated in a striking final moment: Jacob stepped off stage, leaving the rest of the band to finish the song, with the bassist dramatically throwing down his instrument as a bold statement — a risky move that worked flawlessly.

Heavyskint’s combination of musicianship, stagecraft, and raw charisma marks them as a band to watch. Their live energy suggests genuine potential, and this performance was a compelling demonstration of their talent.

Rating: 4.6/5
