Live gig by Big Fear, an alternative pop and indie rock trio, at Heartbreakers.
Big Fear play Heartbreakers on Wednesday 23 September, their only Southampton date this autumn. They're a London trio fronted by Alice Edwards on lead vocals, with Jack Wilkinson on guitar and Ben Crone on synth. The set is theirs alone — no support act on the bill, just the three of them taking the full slot.
Their sound sits across indie rock, alternative and indie pop, and they describe it as self-reflexively dystopian and operatic. The songs are built around synth-throbbing lines, framed as generational anthems. It's a combination that puts them somewhere between the dancefloor and the concert hall, with the synth providing the drive and the vocals carrying the more dramatic, operatic side of the description.
That's the core of what they do: indie rock with a heavy synth presence and a vocal that leans into the theatrical. If you're into the more atmospheric, synth-driven end of indie, that's exactly where they land. It's a London band making their way down to the south coast for the night, so it's a good chance to catch them if you're in the city.
