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.

Interview with Lee Allcock from NE VOLUME

I caught up with Lee Allcock, editor of NE Volume , a music local magazine that celebrates everything the North East has to offer. Tell us about yourself and the story behind NE Volume ? My idea actually began back in college, where I basically wanted to go to gigs, review them, and get paid for it – I thought, at 16, that that would be the dream job. I then went on to study Journalism at Teesside University, and I worked voluntarily at another North East Music Magazine where I noticed they were covering the Newcastle area primarily. Whilst working for that magazine, I felt that bands, venues and music-related businesses in Teesside and the surrounding areas weren’t getting the recognition they deserved. So my idea basically came about because I wanted to help those involved in the music scene in this area – and the North East as a whole – to gain recognition for their hard work. Which artists and/or experiences fuelled your love of music and which albums do yo...

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...
