The Old Pink House - 'NECK DEEP' Track Review


'NECK DEEP' is the latest single from Newcastle's hottest indie-pop quartet 'The Old Pink House'. 

Despite only forming in 2016, the group have earned themselves a strong fan base, released five singles, accumulated countless radio plays and performed at several festivals across the UK.

Alluring synth teases the listener before exploding into a crashing wave of ebullient drums, bold riffs and a hearty bass line.

Front man Chris Brown's vocals adopt a lilting, soft tone that balances out the loud, full bodied instrumentals. This allows the track to have a refreshing depth whilst adhering to the very trendy, delicate vocal style that's dominating the current indie scene.

The track is centered around the straightforward chorus of: 'Neck deep is the something you don't want me to see', meaning it's super easy to sing and dance along to and probably will be stuck in your head for a few days.



The song concludes with an effortlessly cool instrumental, fuelled by ambient synth and peppy guitar riffs that'll undoubtedly get crowds moving.

Overall, it's yet another infectiously catchy track from The Old Pink House. The song is a classic example of a no frills approach done well - simple lyrics coupled with big riffs and punchy percussion, creating an fun, upbeat vibe.

It's a quintessentially indie-pop tune, but they've avoiding slipping into the trap of being pretentious or sugary sweet by giving the track an edge through its strong riffs and intricate harmonies.

The group are most definitely one to watch and I'm sure they'll go from strength to strength, producing bigger and better things.

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...

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 ...
