Hadouken review published @ Winchester News Online

Hadouken proved that they are not one hit wonders as they sold out the Joiners in Southampton on Thursday the 26th November.

Soft Toy Emergency are the only support band and they did a great job of warming up the crowd for Hadouken’s return to Southampton.

The headline act greeted a rowdy crowd with the first track from their debut album, Get Smashed Gate Crash to kick off their set in pulsating style. Next the band played their new single M.A.D. from their new album 'For The Masses' which is set to be released 25th January 2010.

As the band broke into their most successful single to date, Declaration of War, a series of lasers started beaming lights all around Southampton’s most intimate venue. The lasers featured for the rest of the set with a different colours or styles for each song. The lighting show that the band put on was phenomenal creating a thriving and electric atmosphere catapulting the screaming fans into delirium.

Hadouken kept up the fast paced set with fan favourite songs like Crank It Up and Liquid Lives. As their set came to a close Hadouken stormed into Bombshell, a track from the new album that is produced by Drum & Bass act Noisia.

Considering that the average age of the audience was in the mid-teens the noise and atmosphere created shook the Joiners to its very core, their trademark song That Boy That Girl ended a very impressive night from one of England's most exciting bands.
