Beyond the Wall presents: Para Alta, Parisian Youth Culture and Plaza.

Beyond the Wall are back, bringing you their tenth spectacular gig on May 29th at Newcastle's Head of Steam, featuring the immensely talented:  Para Alta, Parisian Youth, and Plaza. Expect a dynamic night showcasing live music in all it's diverse splendour.

Para Alta's sound is the epitome of euphoric indie rock, incorporating hypnotic vocals, gorgeously looped soulful guitar riffs, fuelled by the tangible panache of their drums. The sound captivates you, sending all present into a care-free dance vibe, enabling you appreciate and thrive off the apparent flair the lads possess for live performances. 

Parisian Youth Culture take the iconic catchy vocals and guitar riffs from the Indie genre and sex it up with gritty undertones, giving their music a grungy 'post-rock' edge. This sumptuous mix draws parallels with the hollering guitar riffs and quirky yet hard-hitting vocals of Schultz, but PYC conform to a less aggressive and more 'happy-go-lucky' sound, due to their classic blithe 'indie-esque' twist. 

Plaza are a blend of all beautifully nostalgic undertones - lulling guitar riffs that resemble The Cranberries or Kings of Leon, vocals with the same lilting effect as Echo and the Bunnymen, and the occasional delightful melodic quirk that would make Morissey proud.  However, the band cement an originality throughout their songs via regimented drums, peppy guitar and evocative lyrics, concocting a deliciously rich sound.


To hear this fine selection get yourself down to the Head of Steam, tickets are £4 in advance or £5 on the door, with doors opening at 8pm.

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.

demos or my nightmare? - CULT LUST demo review

Indie gigs have changed. Gone are the days when you danced or bopped along to the likes of Swim Deep  or Peace , indie kids want to mosh. Hence the birth of Cult Lust,  a ferocious fusion of fuzzy guitar and relentless percussion,that creates a heavy lo-fi sound. It's called skuz-pop - don't worry, I had to do google it too! Just imagine a band who's primary concern is making loud, gritty, grungy tunes. Despite only forming a few weeks ago, the band have already produced a two track demo; promoted via their active and bountiful social networking platforms. Both tracks are fairly lengthy (approx 10 mins combined), meaning the group are already a third of the way to having a live set under their belt. It's a really candid and raw recording, giving you insight into their practice sessions. This is best represented by the second track 'headf*ck' being opened by their front man saying "anyway, here's wonderwall" before exploding asking his fellow

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
