Sounds of an Eccentric is Three! Come celebrate with us - Charity Gig Lending Room March 25th


Sounds of an Eccentric is three years old!

When I spontaneously wrote a review of a Little Comets gig three years ago, I never thought anyone (apart from my mam) would read it,  and to see how the blog has grown over the past few years is incredible and really humbling.


I want to thank everyone who has supported me and my writing. Every band, artist, photographer, promoter, writer, or live music fan - you let me indulge in my two greatest passions in life and for that I am so grateful.

In particular I'd like to thank Cath Wilcox (my darling Mama Soul and Number One fan), Jack and Carly Bowden, Shaan Sira, Ben Marcano-Olivier and all the Tranqua Lite Boys,  Russel Poad, Karl Hodge, Martina Topic, Richy Southern, Phil Mitchell, Mick Dolman, Chantel Littlewood, Arianne Jessop, Nathan Robinson, Alethea Shephard, Adam Gallagher, Cal Ruddy and all the team at Spotlight UK and Indie Central Music. You're all fabulous and have given me the support and confidence to be the brutally honest writer I am today.





There'll be a networking session during the night - so bring your business cards. The lovely Adina Kakanskas will also be running a cake stall.




Earlier this week we filmed the second episode of Booze, Bands, Banter and two new exciting new video series that will be with you shortly.

It gives me immense pleasure to announce that SOAE has two new partners - our Sound Engineer Ben Marcano-Olivier and our video editor Tom Kirk. 



The Rough Jazz Enthusiasts amongst you may recognise Ben as the front man of Tranqua Lite. He'll be making all of our video content sound incredible. He's a wildly talented and warm human being and Shaan and I are so excited to be working with him. 


We've also got the amazing Tom Kirk joining us as our video editor. He'll be transforming this babbling fool into a somewhat cool and composed host - so it's safe to say that he's got his work cut out for him!

If you want to be involved or appear in our videos then email us at:  soaefilms@gmail.com
For all other enquiries (any written content, submissions, PR or spotify playlist related topics) please email: salwilcoxjournalist@gmail.com

Once again - thank you to everyone who reads, watches and supports our work. 2018 has been one massive high so far and we've got loads more exciting content planned for you lovely folk. Here's to great music, happy memories and friends I'll cherish forever.

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...
