Tynemouth Surf Cafe

My ethos with music has always been orientated around giving everyone a chance to showcase their talent, no matter what their background is. Music is the personification of emotions and the soul. Whether that be a heart felt power ballad or just a jazzy, lighthearted groove, no song is truly impersonal.
Tynemouth Surf Cafe are the epitome of such an ethos. Situated on the beautiful Tynemouth coast, they've become a fantastic place of opportunity and many a brilliant night out for musicians and music appreciators alike.  Characterised by the eclectic and quirky decor ( with planes and bicycles having from the ceiling and tables embellished with idiosyncratic memorabilia), to the best nachos you'll ever eat, its a place you've got to see to appreciate. Even if its just for a casual cuppa during the day, its still an amazing place and one of my favourite establishments in the area.
The staff couldn't be more amiable or more passionate about the local music scene. They're cooperative and generous yet organised enough to enable such a fantastic enterprise to function. 
The venue is regularly putting on gig nights, if you haven't already been to one - go! I've linked there social networking profiles below, go see of anything tickles  your fancy. You won't be disappointed.

Track of the Week - Sarajevo - The K's

Merseyside natives The K's kicked off 2018 by announcing that they had been signed to Republic Music Management. With a handful of sold-out headline shows already under their belt, their tongue-and-cheek indie tunes are earning them a loyal fan base and plenty of buzz. Their debut single 'Sarajevo' is an infectiously catchy and utterly charming track. The vocals are akin to a more in-tune Jamie T, giving their witty lyrics a warm ambiance.  The upbeat melody gives a nod to early 2000s indie, but the ferocious riffs and hearty bass lines give it plenty of originality.  The track has already achieved half a million streams on Spotify and it's a sure bet that there's bigger and better things on the horizon for The K's.

Poison - Mouses Track review

After relentless gigging, Billingham's lo-fi garage-punk duo Mouses are set to release their debut single: 'Poison'. If you haven't heard Mouses  before (firstly, where have you been for the past two years?), imagine the love child of  The Thermals, Dinosaur Jr  and Wheatus  on a generous kick of acid. The track opens by submerging you into a whirlpool of distorted guitar and fuzzy vocals, invigorating the track with a relentless energy. Despite the initially aggressive tone of the track, the infectiously catchy chorus provides it with a poppy undertone, making it incredibly upbeat and easy to dance/sing along to. I can envisage audiences belting out the lines: "I'm not breaking bones for you, I can be myself with a little bit of poison" - or at least that's what I presume Ste is singing under that heavy lo-fi disguise. If I'm perfectly honest, I'm unsure what the song is about, referencing' everything from; a 'crashing tiger...

'YOUR TRIP BEGINS NOW' - THE FROOT '67 E.P. REVIEW

'Your trip begins now' is the latest four track E.P. from Hull's finest pysche rock outfit: The Froot '67.  As the name would suggest, the group's roots are planted within dynamic 60's rock and the band have revitalised this era through their bold, gritty sound. The E.P. opens with 'Chaos Theory', a track that is fuelled by frantic and beefy lo-fi riffs, whilst Newby's vocals take a more subtle, nonchalant route. Despite being a psyche rock track, the overall sound of the song reminds me of a more reserved version of 'Gravedweller' by The Wytches. It's a very different sound to their debut album; '7 past 8'; but this grungier edge is definitely a good thing for the group. It's broadening their sound without destroying the unique vibe they've already established for themselves. Plus, it;s a really engaging opening to the E.P. and sets a raw, and somewhat brooding, ambiance for the E.P. The following track, 'I don...
