I reviewed Doctors Orders' live demo a few months ago but although the demo was damn good it didn't prepare me for what I experienced here tonight. This set was blisteringly hot! Ok, they're essentially a covers band at the moment but by no means did they simply do covers; they took each and every song and made it their own through little changes and nuances. Their choice of material was refreshing and quite unique. The pace was high, the energy was awesome and boy did they rock - Oh yes they did!!.
Doctors Orders may be one of the more 'mature' bands around at the moment but don't be misled into thinking that what they do is 'old hat' - tonight's set was packed full of great songs done to perfection - a positive barrage of rockin' rhythms poured from the stage - their sound was superb - their style was crazily laid back and the overall result was a very impressive and 'original' set. And, I don't think they actually realise how good they are - the modest bunch!
Still relatively young in band terms Doctors Orders have a great deal to offer. From what I saw tonight these bad boys are too good to do support slots - personally, I'd hate to have to follow Doctors Orders on stage.
I'll be looking out for more of the same now that I've taken the sweet medicine of Doctors Orders. An excellent, kick-ass, rockin' and rollin' set from four great guys - watch out for 'em!!
