The Week That Was
Jeans goes POP

Trev Gibb
“Bloody fantastic. Trev Gibb is sure to appeal to both the loved up and the loved out.” NARC

As seen on BBC 2's Culture Show. With his soaring voice and delicate acoustic strumming, Richard is a genuine talent- not to be missed

“Local ladies with folky good tunes and fine harmonies.” The Live Theatre
Balao
Bittersweet lyrics, breathtaking harmonies and soaring melodies. Alt-folk quartet Balao will stay with you for a long time to come.

Leagues
“Leagues are a gaunt, spooky affair that explode into kraut-rock storms at amp-slaying peaks.” Feed Me Music
Night of Sevens
Beautifully ravaged garage rock...one of the few bands of their ilk to truly invoke the ghosts of Detroit rock's past.

Crawhall Road (at the top of Stepney Bank), Ouseburn, Newcastle

Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch." The Metro
Moleck
“Splatterings of agit-math-jazz-rock, intimate arpeggios and skull-shattering drums.” NARC
Razmataz Lorry Excitement
”Mixing up classic dance sensibilities and huge beats with all the attitude of modern electro-rock acts like LCD Soundsystem, Soulwax or Simian Mobile Disco, RLE creates a sound that could well be pure audible ecstasy.” NARC
The Blitz Evra
Young, not quite jazz from Hartlepool

Tanners
Crawhall Road (at the top of Stepney Bank), Ouseburn, Newcastle
