Humanism

Every now and again you come across a band that make you proud of your home town. Humanism do just that. Without a doubt, this band is the greatest musical asset of Whitley Bay. (Sorry Lisbon.)
The four lads have came together in 2012 and have already completed two stunning alternative/ambiance albums, 'Humanism' and 'Porcelain Soul'.  Both albums are utterly enthralling and compelling, possessing an enchanting ability to soothe the soul into a tranquil state.  But these lads aren't just one trick ponies, songs such as "Hearts" and "White Lies" have a ballsy edge to them, keeping their sound fresh and captivating. 
The group have supported the likes of The Polarsets and Andy Jordan and have headlined at the Cluny and Newcastle Student's Union. Furthermore, Humanism have gained support and attention from BBC Introducing and local artist developers Generator - earning them a headline spot at Evolution Emerging Festival. Now the lads are taking their next step forward with a headline gig at Newcastle's O2 Accademy on Friday 6th June, with support from Street Party in Soho  and Absorb.
These lads are so passionate about their music which is beautiful to see. They thrive off performing and  simply aspire continue their endeavours. To quote drummer Tom Scrimshaw: "We're just a very passionate band and in no way are we not taking this seriously, we want to push it as far as we can. Music is our world and passion".

The lads' music is available on Spotify and iTunes, with some tracks on SoundCloud. Tickets for their o2 gig are on sale now.

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...

Red Rum Club with Support From Tiger Twins, Paradas and Turnstones

Last night Liverpudlian six-piece Red Rum Club enthralled a lively crowd at Leeds' Lending Room. Kicking the night off was Leeds based four-piece Turnstones . Unfortunately, the majority of their set was timid and unimpressive. Their songs were pleasant enough, just very safe sounding, and they looked painfully awkward on stage. However the last two tracks of their set were fantastic -they skyrocketed from blasé to ballsy. They engaged more with the audience and came out of their shells - it was like watching a completely different band. They need to scrap the first section of their set and focus on creating songs like the last two. Up next was local group Paradas . Their front man had a dreamy rock tone, akin to Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill, with an admirable vocal range. His lilting vocals complimented the gritty classic rock inspired riffs, giving their sound a rich depth. Occasionally their riffs were a bit repetitive, so it'd be interesting to see some ...
