Their gleeful dominance of the main stage at Reading & Leeds was the first victory. The first proper glimpse that this band could not only play with the big boys, but give them a run for their money.

Wins at Glastonbury, the home of anything-but-heavy-music, and a stripped down performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall saw Bring Me and their outsider snarl take control.
