Liberty Ship @ The Rocking Chair

One unfortunate feature of Sheffield’s indie rock scene has always been the ephemeral nature of some of its promising acts.

But Liberty Ship are a tight crew, and one with time on their side. An intimate gig at the Rocking Chair was a little smaller – and sweatier – than what the lads were accustomed to by now, but it was also an ideal setting to catch a group who boast remarkable confidence and a pronounced sense of enjoyment in what they do.

Toying with an array of genres, from Kooks-esque feelgood indie pop to the funk-infused rhythms of ‘Fire Your Love’, the youthful four-piece pulled out all the stops and made a memorable night of it in the process. All aboard indeed.
