Let You Down - The Pale White: Track Review

'Let you Down' is the latest single from Newcastle based indie-rock band: The Pale White. Previously known as Sun Dance, the group have become one of the most popular bands in the area, attracting large crowds and supporting bands such as: Baby Strange, Lisbon and The Subways.

The track opens with a bold, beefy guitar riff, reinforced by a rich bass line and Hope's suave vocals, encompassing the listener into a gritty, indie-rock sound. Punchy, harmonised vocals belt out the catchy chorus of: 'Would I let you down, let you down, let you down....'. The bridges of said chorus are embellished with intricate and engaging licks and as the song progresses, they conclude with ballsy solos that will sate audiences of all tastes and sizes. The foundations of this track are simple; akin to some of the earlier material by the Arctic Monkeys; however the song is elevated by these gorgeous moments of guitar solos and ebullient drums, highlighting the bands apparent and profound technical skill.

The band are launching the single tonight at Jumping Jack's in Newcastle (gig venue attached to the Dog and Parrot pub) with a sold out gig, with support from HAZELS and The Old Pink House. They're also supporting Maximo Park on July 31st at Newcastle's Time Square. Furthermore the band have been scouted by Primary Talent International, an agency that has worked with the likes of: Wolf Alice, Alt-J and The 1975.
So, without a shadow of a doubt, the future is looking incredibly promising for this dynamic trio.

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...
