Humanism

Every now and again you come across a band that make you proud of your home town. Humanism do just that. Without a doubt, this band is the greatest musical asset of Whitley Bay. (Sorry Lisbon.)
The four lads have came together in 2012 and have already completed two stunning alternative/ambiance albums, 'Humanism' and 'Porcelain Soul'.  Both albums are utterly enthralling and compelling, possessing an enchanting ability to soothe the soul into a tranquil state.  But these lads aren't just one trick ponies, songs such as "Hearts" and "White Lies" have a ballsy edge to them, keeping their sound fresh and captivating. 
The group have supported the likes of The Polarsets and Andy Jordan and have headlined at the Cluny and Newcastle Student's Union. Furthermore, Humanism have gained support and attention from BBC Introducing and local artist developers Generator - earning them a headline spot at Evolution Emerging Festival. Now the lads are taking their next step forward with a headline gig at Newcastle's O2 Accademy on Friday 6th June, with support from Street Party in Soho  and Absorb.
These lads are so passionate about their music which is beautiful to see. They thrive off performing and  simply aspire continue their endeavours. To quote drummer Tom Scrimshaw: "We're just a very passionate band and in no way are we not taking this seriously, we want to push it as far as we can. Music is our world and passion".

The lads' music is available on Spotify and iTunes, with some tracks on SoundCloud. Tickets for their o2 gig are on sale now.

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.

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 ...

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...
