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.

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...
