Gig Preview: ARCADIA at Day and Night Cafe, Manchester 28/6/16

Stoke-on-Trent indie five piece; ARCADIA; are set to play Machester's 'Day and Night Cafe' on Tuesday 28th June. Despite only forming in November of 2015, the young group have already secured themselves a UK tour and a successful debut EP, entitled 'The Shore'.

After headlining Birmingham's O2 Academy 3, 'The Mad Ferret' (Preston) and 'The Exchange' in Stoke-on-Trent earlier this month, things are looking very promising for this happy-go-lucky indie rock outfit.
Their sound channels a very trendy branch of indie - lots of pedals, catchy, borderline pop licks/choruses and occasionally showcasing a more ambitious bass line - which should enable them to gain a hearty following. There still a little 'rough around the edges'. Some of their lyrics are a little clumsy, making them sound like rebelling teens opposed to edgy indie rockers.
However this trait is reflective of both their audience and themselves. In fact, this may be a very charming trait during a live set and it it'll be interesting to see how the band and their sound progresses.

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...
