Gig Preview - Carnation at The Peer Hat - December 15th


Manchester indie-rockers Carnation, are set to headline a riotous show at The Peer Hat on Friday 15th December.

The Manchester gig is the final date of their winter tour. The group have already played Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield and Kazoopa Festival and have received rapturous praise for each performance.

 Their sound is characterised by suave, angsty vocals, distorted riffs and gritty bass lines, all delivered with an unrivaled herculean energy.


Supporting the ballsy three-piece is Messengers and AutoPilot - both of which are renowned for their feel good indie-rock in their respective scenes.

Front man Saul Backhouse describes the band as: "a three piece comprising of an Italian, a ginger and a gypsy - our riffs are heavier and more exciting than Kim Kardashian's left arse cheek".

The band have expressed their excitement for their final show of the year, stating that the night "will be carnage".

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.

Documentary: Grass Root - How music cities are saving grass root music venues

Last year, I had the pleasure of going around the UK creating an audio documentary for my degree's final project. I looked into how music city organisations are helping to preserve independent music venues in the UK, and the cultural significance of these bijoux venues. I thought it was an apt time to release this documentary, as many venues in the UK are currently struggling due to lockdown. The documentary explores the issues that venues have faced over the last decade, from high business rates to changes in planning laws. It can be difficult for these vital cultural hubs to stay open, without having to deal with the repercussions of a global pandemic. The Music Venue Trust has joined forces with venues across the nation, in a bid to make sure that they can keep their doors open and the music blasting post-lockdown. If you're in a position to donate to the 'Save our Venues' campaign, click here.  So without further ado, here is 'Grass Root - How m...

ReBalance - Is Positive Discrimination towards Women in Music the way Forward?

The organisers of Reading and Leeds Festival, FestivalRepublic, have faced criticism in recent years for their male dominated line-ups. Melvin Benn, the managing director of Festival Republic,   told the Guardian that the reason behind theirmale-centric line ups was because "they sell tickets... if there was a female act in the rock genre that sold the same amount of tickets as any of the headline acts... I'd book them". However Benn recently announced that Festival Republic is launching a new initiative in 2018 that positively discriminates towards female artists. The Leeds based 'ReBalance' project will run for three years and each month will provide a female musician, solo artist or female fronted band with a week in a recording studio, with all the expenses, travel and accommodation paid for by Festival Republic. However, is positive discrimination the best way to showcase female talent and create a more equal music industry? On one hand ...
