Pacific View - Miles Away

Pacific View are the dynamic fivesome from Durham/Sunderland, responsible for the peppy pop-punk track 'Miles Away'. The female fronted group's sound draws parallels with the likes of Paramore and Tonight Alive, with apparent influences from the likes of: We are the In Crowd and Boys like Girls.
'Miles away' combines exhilarating and poignant guitar riffs with scintillating drums to provide a full and vivacious sound - perfectly complimenting Heslop's enchanting vocals. The track is a fantastic marriage of lilting and controlled vocals and gritty guitar, that will undoubtedly excite audiences. The song is edgy yet sweet, making it well-suited to a variety of moods and listeners. Pacific View have mastered the art of creating mirthful dance moods and tranquil 'Sunday Chills'.
It's about time the North-East had such a skilled and rhapsodic female fronted pop-punk group, and Pacific View are a band that goes from strength to strength. Watch this space.

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...

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...
