Social Room - Be Forever Mine Track Review


'Be Forever Mine' is the latest single from Sunderland based indie rock group Social Room. Since forming in 2015, the six piece band have earned a loyal following, playing countless shows around the North East, as well as shows in Liverpool and London.
The track opens with a pounding beat, before welcoming an engaging lick and front man Matty Smith's husky vocals. As the track progresses, it crescendos into a rich sound, fuelled by gritty bass lines, enigmatic riffs and bewitching harmonies, engulfing the listener in an impressive wave of bold indie rock.
The balance of all the intricate riffs and enchanting harmonies is fantastic, showcasing skilled musicianship and creating a sophisticated edge that the saturated indie genre is so desperately craving.
My only criticism of the track is that the vocals could be a bit more expressive, which would enable Smith to emphasise his gorgeously suave tones. Regardless, 'Be Forever Mine' is a great addition to their set and I'm sure that it will never fail to please and enliven audiences.



The track is set to be launched on December 17th with an highly anticipated gig at Independent in Sunderland.

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...

BAND OF THE WEEK - NAKED SIX

At the weekend I had the utmost pleasure of attending Hedfest  in Hedon. The main support on the Saturday night was York based rock group 'Naked Six'. Now I'm going to recommend you do not try and search for them online, follow my links. I have seen things I cannot unsee. Rather than some questionable pornography, feast your eyes and ears their energetic single: 'The Way I feel'. Fuelled by ebullient drums, ferocious guitar, beefy bass and bellowing vocals, it's sophisticated enough wow audiences, without being self-indulgent. SUPPORT NAKED SIX FACEBOOK
