Live Reviews: First Aid Kit @ Club Academy, Manchester 24.02.12
If Swedish sisters First Aid Kit prove anything, it’s that words of wisdom need not come from age. On the critically acclaimed The Lions Roar, the sisters Soderberg – one of them not even out of her teens - spoke with brave courage and the folk/country they played conjured, less images of a Scandinavian paradise with their perfect healthcare system, and more of the dusty west of the US. Tonight, it seems everyone in Manchester has come out to experience just that. There’s so many people in fact that they’ve been bumped up from the small recesses of the Academy 3 to the larger Club Academy.
