September Favourites - featuring THE PALE WHITE, MOUSES AND BERNACCIA


My September has consisted of: moving away for uni, excessive drinking, freshers flu and indulging in some fantastic new releases from the North East music scene. These new releases have kept my morale high and drowned out the sound of coughing and vomiting in university halls this past month and I genuinely hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

The Pale White - That Dress
The latest release from Newcastle's favourite indie rock trio; 'That Dress' maintains The Pale White's formidable reputation for producing killer tracks that are as gritty as they are catchy. The track was released just in time to gain a wave of adoring support before their sold out gig tomorrow night at THINK TANK (with support from PLAZA and A Festival A Parade) and it's sure to be an enthralling and memorable night for the Newcastle music scene.




MOUSES - THE MOUSES ALBUM
The highly anticipated debut album from fruzzy-rockers MOUSES was everything I wanted it to be - and more! It's an ebullient collection of ferociously catchy lo-fi anthems that will enliven even the most prudish of crowds. The dynamic duo are currently touring the UK and I cannot wait to go to their Leeds date at Wharf Chambers this Saturday.
BERNACCIA - GROWL PEACE BELIEF
'Growl Peace Belief' is my favourite release of this month. I absolutely adore this album and it's definitely in my top three albums of all time (and without a doubt is my favourite album of 2016). It epitomises the very best of neo-psyche and has such a gorgeously rich and unique sound. It's one of those rare albums where every track is superb. I listed my favourite tracks when planning this piece, but ended up writing out the entire track list. I'm preying that they do a Leeds gig soon or play when I'm home for Christmas, as I really can't get enough of Bernaccia.

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...
