Kicking the night off is the dulcet music of Mink. The duo have a clean, melodic sound and are sure to charm the crowd with their gorgeous ballads.

Up next is indie rock group Trip Switch. Taking influence from the likes of The Smiths, Joy Division, The Libertines and Jarvis Cocker, the group have achieved a bold and oh so catchy sound.

Watch out for their rendition of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' - it's spectacular.

INTERVIEW WITH TRIP SWITCH

The main support of the night is alt-rock trio BLESH. The band combine upbeat melodies and soothing guitar; akin to the style of Mac DeMarco. However their sound is elevated by powerful drops and gritty vocals, producing a rich, full sound.

E.P. REVIEW

Headlining the night is Whitley Bay's dynamic indie synth-rock group HEDGES. The group have a bold, loud sound, fuelled by gritty guitar, ebullient drums, retro percussion and explosive drops.

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.

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...
