Sound 4/5
One of my faves; The Ascot Royals are layered guitar rock at its finest, amazing vocals and amazing songs. They are engineered to make me dance.
Performance 5/5
They were on at 2 am but it felt like 11 pm, high energy and lots of fun. Their cover of Queen’s “Fat Bottom Girls” I attribute to my sore knees the next day. Their set was perfect.
Professionalism 4/5
Considering they were on so late and wasn’t a lot of hands to help set up, they set up in a timely manner and tore down quickly.
Aesthetic 3/5
Casual rock and roll, looked like they’d been on stage their entire lives. Big hair also helps.
Authenticity 4/5
The Ascot Royals are one of those bands who obviously love what they do and they love performing. They had a blast on stage and had the audience (especially yours truly) moving and grooving.
Total: 20/25
Final Grade: 80%
