Bernaccia - 'Awake' track review



For those of you who haven't had the utmost pleasure of listening to Bernaccia, I am so sorry. You really are missing out.
The dynamic group are due to release their latest single 'Awake' in early April, ahead of their highly anticipated debut album 'Growl Peace Belief'.
It comes as no surprise that the psyche rock group have maintained their high energy sound with 'Awake', layering upbeat percussion with a colossal rhythm section and gorgeously soulful vocals.




The track opens with intricate synth and peppy drums before welcoming Ellen Chetcuti's dreamy, yet powerful vocals. As the track progresses, an armada of bold riffs amplify the enchanting tone of the track, creating a blues rock bliss.
The addition of Jonny Noble's vocals not only creates a charming harmony, but reinforces the bluesy vibe and revitalises the track, keeping the audience hooked during the concluding instrumental. During which, the band combine chanting-esque vocals and a harmonica solo - two things I wouldn't usually put together, but the band make it work really well.
The overall sound is an indulgently rich track that packs herculean punch. It's ferociously energetic, whilst possessing chilled trance enduing vibe.
If this isn't the soundtrack to finding Shangri-La, then searching for paradise really isn't worth the effort.

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.

Quirks Behind the Music - CULT LUST's Sam and Owen

For those readers who aren't familiar with you and  your sound, tell us a little about yourself and your music? We’re Cult Lust! We’re a scuzzy garage trio from  Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, we like to think we’re loud as fuck but probably not to the point where it becomes obnoxious, which is sort of a disappointment. We use a collaboration of horrible old fuzz pedals tied to ropey old vintage guitars, topped off with clean technical riffs and a heavy driving percussion force to produce a louder than life sound. Which artists have inspired both your music and your personal tastes? Owen – I started listening to Led Zeppelin when I was seven and I started playing drums because John Bonham’s drums sounded so good to me and I just wanted to be like him instantly. I grew my hair and got my first drum kit at 7 and it’s led me to where I am today. I’ve picked up a lot from other drummers because I’m self taught so there’s probably a bit of jazz influence in my drumming too . Sam

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
