Tynemouth Surf Cafe

My ethos with music has always been orientated around giving everyone a chance to showcase their talent, no matter what their background is. Music is the personification of emotions and the soul. Whether that be a heart felt power ballad or just a jazzy, lighthearted groove, no song is truly impersonal.
Tynemouth Surf Cafe are the epitome of such an ethos. Situated on the beautiful Tynemouth coast, they've become a fantastic place of opportunity and many a brilliant night out for musicians and music appreciators alike. Characterised by the eclectic and quirky decor ( with planes and bicycles having from the ceiling and tables embellished with idiosyncratic memorabilia), to the best nachos you'll ever eat, its a place you've got to see to appreciate. Even if its just for a casual cuppa during the day, its still an amazing place and one of my favourite establishments in the area.
The staff couldn't be more amiable or more passionate about the local music scene. They're cooperative and generous yet organised enough to enable such a fantastic enterprise to function.
The venue is regularly putting on gig nights, if you haven't already been to one - go! I've linked there social networking profiles below, go see of anything tickles your fancy. You won't be disappointed.

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...

Interview with Lee Allcock from NE VOLUME

I caught up with Lee Allcock, editor of NE Volume , a music local magazine that celebrates everything the North East has to offer. Tell us about yourself and the story behind NE Volume ? My idea actually began back in college, where I basically wanted to go to gigs, review them, and get paid for it – I thought, at 16, that that would be the dream job. I then went on to study Journalism at Teesside University, and I worked voluntarily at another North East Music Magazine where I noticed they were covering the Newcastle area primarily. Whilst working for that magazine, I felt that bands, venues and music-related businesses in Teesside and the surrounding areas weren’t getting the recognition they deserved. So my idea basically came about because I wanted to help those involved in the music scene in this area – and the North East as a whole – to gain recognition for their hard work. Which artists and/or experiences fuelled your love of music and which albums do yo...
