Deep.Sleep - Slow Down track review




Contrary to the name, local group Deep.Sleep have revatalised their indie-rock meets surf-rock sound with their latest single 'Slow Down'. The band usually opt for an organic no-frills sound, relying on quirky (but very charming) lyrics and and infectious guitar licks. However the addition of an upbeat, pop-esque synth sound has broadened their set, making it more dynamic without straying too far from their original sound.
The track opens with a vivacious synth and punchy percussion before welcoming Frend's gritty vocals and a reserved, yet catchy layer of guitar. Despite going in down a more synth-pop route than their usual style, the band have kept their witty lyric style that give Deep.Sleep their endearing 'lads next door' vibe.
The lines: 'is it the light or am I too blind to see, you can't watch the world if you watch it through a screen' really resonate, evoking an engaging ambiance, before being hit by the bold and oh so catchy chorus.


Fellow local indie group Dalaro have done something very similar with their latest single 'Youth'. However, 'Slow Down' is the better of the two song as the vocals aren't lost in the armada of riffs. The song has more of a personal touch, rather than just bashing out crowd pleasing ear worms.
Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with Deep.Sleep's new direction and can envisage promising things on their horizon.
The band are releasing the track midnight on Sunday 10th March  after playing a free gig at Tynemouth SurfCafe. Click here for more details

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.

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 ...

Gig Review - Double Denim Live Presents: Carnation with support from Life At The Arcade, Defender and Louie James

Double Denim Live returned to Verve Bar in Leeds to host a night of ebullient music from Carnation , Life at the Arcade , Defender and Louie James . Kicking the night off was a solo set from Wakefield singer-songwriter Louie James. James played a range of original and cover songs, showcasing his brand of soulful and sincere tunes. His guitar playing was entertaining, and offered a good variety of riffs and harmonies. All the tracks had their own identity, whilst maintaining a distinct sound for his music as a whole. His greatest strength is his quirky lyrics. Whether he was singing about a 'gravy splash' or annoying a taxi driver when he got 'food on his seat belt', his lyrics possess a candid charm that gave his tracks a witty edge. His cover of Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' was the highlight of his set. He put a refreshing twist on the rock classic, drawing from early 00s indie influences with the melody and incorporating a chilled blues u...
