Waterparks, Slam Dunk Festival 2024 REVIEW: It doesn’t matter what sort of stage you put Waterparks on, you know they will make it their own. You also know that Awsten Knight will have plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Pulling out the likes of ‘Blonde’ and ‘Stupid For You’ early doors - making sure all arms are up and feet are off the ground - is just the tip of the iceberg. The triple-header of ‘SELF-SABOTAGE’, ‘BRAINWASHED’ and ‘FUCK ABOUT IT’ are injected with fresh strains of glitchy chaos, whilst a very welcome playthrough of ‘21 Questions’ feels incredibly cathartic for all stretching their vocal cords to scream it back as violently as possible. It’s a showcase of where Waterparks have been and where Waterparks are heading. A boundless display of creativity that few can match and a firm reminder of why they remain one of the scene’s finest cult sensations. ✏️ Jack Rogers 📸 Corinne Cumming #waterparks #awstenknight #poppunk #emo #rock #alternative
