JAWS, Marsicans, Social Contact, The Magnet 24/11/2017
The B-Town indie pop band, Jaws, took on The Magnet last night, and appeared to be all conquering. Halfway through their headline UK tour, Jaws turned up to The Magnet, which, from the rate at which the gig sold out, seems like a remarkably small venue for a band of this size and hype. Having…
