Breakdown Face - From Zero to Zero

'From Zero to Zero' is the latest track from Cardiff born punk trio Breakdown Face. The song is a relentlessly high-powered and gutsy tune, best played as loud as your speakers (or eardrums) can cope with.
Singer/Guitarist Colin James MacFarlane stated:"We're usually punk, but our metal influences come through a bit in this". The evocative lyrics undoubtedly channel the punk ethos - sticking two fingers up to the corruptive media - whilst the dynamic guitar riffs and domineering vocals definitely channel a metal vibe. The track becomes well rounded, through the infectiously catchy but ballsy chorus - fuelled by 'tongue and cheek lyrics' (imagine an edgier Blink 182), concerning giving criminals 'their fifteen minutes of shame'.
The apparent energy that drives this song is colossal and heightened by the lads' witty and poignant way with words. Catchy tunes don't usually fixate on the injustice of criminals and victims being immortalised through crime and hardship. But the beauty of this band is that they don't have 'Blurred Lines' Syndrome - the audience knows exactly what the song is about. It is compelling and thought provoking, but catchy enough to make it great to dance to at the same time.
If you like your music provocative and loud - this is the song for you.

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.

'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...

Middlesbrough Pub Bans Female Fronted Bands

Middlesbrough pub and rock music venue; Doctor Brown's ; has caused outrage after implementing a ban on female fronted bands, stating their customers believe that women can't sing rock music well. The story gained national attention after The Northern Echo published a damning article on the situation. Consequently, residents and musicians have started to boycott the venue. I contacted Doctor Brown's to hear their side of the story. Had the situation been blown out of proportion on social media, or were outdated, sexist attitudes being called out? Paula Rees, the pub's manager cited that the Northern Echo had lied and "twisted her words" and she was eager to talk to me to "set the record straight". She said that was more than happy to talk, asking me to ring up later when the pub was a little quieter. Rees also confessed that she wasn't a "big rock fan" and was just going with what her customers wanted, stating that they had...
