Nettles - Goodnight, Vienna! Track Review


'Goodnight, Vienna!' is the latest single from dynamic indie rock group Nettles. The Newcastle based trio gained popularity after they released their debut single 'What Did You Do' and have supported acts such as Colour of Spring, BLESH, and Trudy and the Romance.

The track opens with a gritty yet oh-so-catchy lick  before welcoming front man Louis Gomes' reserved, suave snarl.
The first verse serves as a dramatic, elongated crescendo; fuelled by an armada of lo-fi guitar, ebullient percussion and enigmatic vocals. The track then explodes into a bold fusion of powerful riffs, intrepid bass and herculean beats, engulfing the listener a colossal wave of ballsy attitude.
The lyrics of the track are more light-hearted than 'What Did You Do', allowing the track to possess a more upbeat vibe, with the lines 'Cause you're the King of No One, Goodnight Vienna' and 'Boys you'll go far' resonating the most poignantly.

Overall, it's a fantastic upbeat track that's sure to enliven crowds and makes the prospect of an E.P. all the more exciting. If Nettles continue to produce songs of this calibre, they're sure to thrive in the North East music scene and beyond.

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...

Middlesbrough Pub Bans Female Fronted Bands

Middlesbrough pub and rock music venue; Doctor Brown's ; has caused outrage after implementing a ban on female fronted bands, stating their customers believe that women can't sing rock music well. The story gained national attention after The Northern Echo published a damning article on the situation.  Consequently, residents and musicians have started to boycott the venue. I contacted Doctor Brown's to hear their side of the story. Had the situation been blown out of proportion on social media, or were outdated, sexist attitudes being called out? Paula Rees, the pub's manager cited that the Northern Echo had lied and "twisted her words" and she was eager to talk to me to "set the record straight". She said that was more than happy to talk, asking me to ring up later when the pub was a little quieter. Rees also confessed that she wasn't a "big rock fan" and was just going with what her customers wanted, stating that they had...
