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.

demos or my nightmare? - CULT LUST demo review

Indie gigs have changed. Gone are the days when you danced or bopped along to the likes of Swim Deep or Peace , indie kids want to mosh. Hence the birth of Cult Lust, a ferocious fusion of fuzzy guitar and relentless percussion,that creates a heavy lo-fi sound. It's called skuz-pop - don't worry, I had to do google it too! Just imagine a band who's primary concern is making loud, gritty, grungy tunes. Despite only forming a few weeks ago, the band have already produced a two track demo; promoted via their active and bountiful social networking platforms. Both tracks are fairly lengthy (approx 10 mins combined), meaning the group are already a third of the way to having a live set under their belt. It's a really candid and raw recording, giving you insight into their practice sessions. This is best represented by the second track 'headf*ck' being opened by their front man saying "anyway, here's wonderwall" before exploding asking his fellow

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
