 NOUVEAU GIGS RETURN TO WHITLEY BAY'S 42ND STREET ON THURSDAY 28TH JULY, BRINGING YOU ACTS INCLUDING: BLESH, CULT LUST, NETTLES AND JACOB DIAZ-WRIGHT.




First up is Stockton born singer-songwriter Jacob Diaz-Wright, known for his ferociously skilled guitar playing and witty, (if somewhat blunt) lyrics.




Next up is Tynemouth's indie-rock group Nettles. The group channel  gritty 90's esque riffs (imagine indie pre-Brit-pop) and gorgeously bold and rich bass lines. Combined with lilting, suave vocals,(not dissimilar to the likes of The Libertines or Arctic Monkeys) the group have created an infectiously catchy and full sounding indie-rock sound.

The main support of the night is scuzz-pop trio Cult Lust, whose roaring, distorted tunes never fail to evoke a wild and energetic crowd. Fuzzy guitar riffs, gritty vocals and relentless percussion drive their music, creating an aggressive and oh so loud sound.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THEIR DEMO




Headlining Thursday night is alt-rock trio Blesh. The band combine intricate and ambient guitar; akin to the style of Mac DeMarco; with upbeat melodies and gritty, distorted licks resulting in a textured and engaging contrapuntal sound.
The group have recently released their debut E.P (linked below), showcasing a broad and interesting sound, consequently indicating a promising future on the horizon.


DETAILS AT A GLANCE -  THURSDAY 28TH JULY
                                                  42ND STREET, WHITLEY BAY
                                                  7PM DOORS
                                                  £3 OTD

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...
