No Bad News in Heaven delivered a set that struggled from start to finish. Technical execution was poor: instruments were out of tune, the guitarist was inexperienced, and vocals were largely shouting rather than singing. Basic stage preparation offered little support, with tangled cables and pedals connected via daisy chains rather than a proper pedalboard — issues that could have been easily addressed.

The band’s stage presence, framed as “We’re not like other bands, we move around,” appeared more an attempt to compensate for uneven playing than a creative choice. On-stage shots and swapping instruments mid-set further highlighted a lack of cohesion. The performance was so difficult to follow that I had to step away for a break from listening. The drummer was the only consistently musical element, but even this was not enough to salvage the set.

While marginal improvements might be possible, the fundamental gaps in musicianship, equipment management, and stagecraft make it unlikely that future performances will be significantly better.
