Track of the Week - Carnation 'Fatal Attraction'


"Rib rattling riffs with a Mancunian Kiss" - Manchester trio Carnation's latest single 'Fatal Attraction is our track of the week.

 The track opens with whirring synth before welcoming poignant guitar and front man Saul Parker-Backhouse lilting vocals.

The  crescendo into the catchy chorus engulfs the listener with in an armada of aggressive, distorted guitar, beefy bass and suave vocals, radiating a cool, 'give no fucks' vibe.

As the song progresses garish punches of synth are added, giving it a ballsy edge and complimenting the intricate counter melody riff.

The band are playing a sold out show this Friday at Jimmy's in Manchester with support from Sway and Little Strange.

If you didn't get tickets, you can catch them in Sheffield, Manchester, Stockton or London in the upcoming weeks.

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...

BAND OF THE WEEK - NAKED SIX

At the weekend I had the utmost pleasure of attending Hedfest  in Hedon. The main support on the Saturday night was York based rock group 'Naked Six'. Now I'm going to recommend you do not try and search for them online, follow my links. I have seen things I cannot unsee. Rather than some questionable pornography, feast your eyes and ears their energetic single: 'The Way I feel'. Fuelled by ebullient drums, ferocious guitar, beefy bass and bellowing vocals, it's sophisticated enough wow audiences, without being self-indulgent. SUPPORT NAKED SIX FACEBOOK
