REVIEW: ONE OK ROCK @ The Roundhouse Camden

Written by Emily Ross — 0 Views

whilst of course simultaneously keeping every note at perfect pitch…easy.

They’re a band full of uniquely cool haircuts, waved around as they each take their solos, the

guitarist transports us to the world of blues leaving us hanging on perfectly timed stops, with

the rest of the band the tension is built and built like the anticipation at the start of Baba

O’riley, leading into the funkiest riff of the 21st century- it is hard not to want to move

your body, until we are all gut punched by the vocals reaching notes that sit on Everest, the

room is still captured in awe. Within the next few songs we are transported into the world of

metal, pop punk, rock, rock ballads and heavy Indian influence with the song ‘Change’ – they

have a song for everyone.

Stand Out Fit In, this is the anthem for the people, every person walked in the door as

themselves and this is the song to celebrate it. Takahiro Moriuchi has everyone’s attention,

as a constant wave is created with each row of people jumping to the beat. For the entirety

of the night, the band’s positivity and charm radiates from the stage, their passion bleeds from

their instruments directly into the crowd. From the first few notes we were thrown into the world

of pop rock, and then we stand with confetti in our hair wondering when we can do it all again.
