[LISTEN] Lisbon - Shark

I've been off for the past 7 days so this isn't exactly 'brand spanking new' but it was first revealed late last week, and after listening to it as a 'fan' for the past week I am gob-smacked as to how good their latest effort it. The Newcastle four-piece have sold out shows up and down the UK, and with this new song in tow I can see them selling out even bigger venues.

I do feel that this track has a lot of bite to it, and with puns aside I can see this propel them into the next chapter, watch out 2017!

BERNACCIA unveil video for "Awake" on It's All Indie [IAI PREMIÈRE]

Newcastle's Bernaccia have today let us reveal their heavily psychy new video for their latest track "Awake". The track has got some soaring guitars, a tribal feel to it and combined with the distinctive boy/girl vocals throughout they really have found a gap in the genres and made their own!

April 2016 sees the release of their next single Awake. The track is the first full length track with new member Ellen Chetcuti, you can watch the video below!

[LISTEN] Hazels - Can't Ignore [IAI PREMIÈRE]

Are you longing for the sound of the mid 00's, do you love Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes? Well Hazel's brand new track "Can't Ignore" is right up your street! Having had success in their hometown of Newcastle they've been branching out with radio plays up and down the UK as well as being played on radio in the USA, and it really does sounds like they're onto a winner with this latest effort!

You can listen to the brand new track "Can't Ignore" only on It's All Indie, enjoy!

Kobadelta reveal new video for "Ride By The Light" on It's All Indie [IAI PREMIÈRE]

Kobadelta are the Newcastle based 5-piece who we've posted about many times before, and for good reason! They play a unique brand of dark and brooding 'indie-psych-rock'. In the last year they've been invited to perform a live session for BBC Introducing, have been selected to headline the Tanners stage at Evolution Emerging Festival in Newcastle, as well as many more festivals.


Things are on the up for the five-some, and their VHS effect video is streaming on It's All Indie exclusively today. Their next gig is Stockton Calling 2016 on Saturday 26th March on a huge bill including the likes of Reverend & The Makers, Blossoms and Dutch Uncles. You can watch the video below.

Enjoy all!

Gig Review... MT @ The Cumberland Arms, Newcastle, 22nd of April 2014

I have previously written an 'introducing' piece on M T before and I remember writing "If this band pick up though then I'm sure they'll have a couple of classics on their hands" so was keeping my fingers crossed that if I went to see them again they would have some more belters to throw at me, I'm pleased to report that they did!

I have to say that The Cumberland Arms in Newcastle is a really quirky little venue which I think suited hosting M T because just like the band it doesn't seem like much at first but as you explore deeper you become ever more impressed. I don't mean that derogatory to either venue or artist by the way but to look at M T they do appear to be a mish mash of people who would be into totally different genres of music... which to produce their sound I suppose is a good thing.

Before playing the band were milling around and chatting to people so I got the chance to speak to Micheal Tomlinson (lead singer) who was so grateful of us coming to see them he offered me his can of stella but unfortunately I was driving this fine evening. Really genuine guy, we reminisced slightly about when I saw them live before and I commented on his effort as a front man being spectacular previously so I was hoping for more of the same.



Opening with their latest effort 'Dear One' was a quality marker to lay down as straight away as it got everybody in the room moving to its catchy and progressive feel good nature. HINT: throw this on a playlist for any summertime picnics/BBQ's/parties you may be throwing and I guarantee you won't regret it (It's easy to find on Youtube)

The rest of the set was highlighted by a tracks called 'Alpha Romeo' and 'Chains' or at least I think that's what it was called as I forgot to write it down, I was enjoying myself too much probably. Initially plagued by Bass amp failure the band carried on professionally and Tomlinson's ability to create energy out of literally no-where was fantastic throughout the whole set. 10/10 for effort.



I'm glad that MT do have those tunes in their locker that I was hoping for months ago so I can say with certainty that they've cemented a couple of spots on my summer playlist.

Oh nearly forgot... Freddie's mustache is still glorious!

News, 22nd April 2010

I have some wonderful news, hopefully if all goes to plan, I shall have my first Q&A on the site.

Little Comets!

I already have posted about them, click on the labels to find out more on them and links to their facebook, myspace and official site.

Track of the day... Little Comets - One Night In October

Little Comets, straight out of Newcastle. With their glorious yelps, full band, and indie rock sound, I feel myself washing away the days of sad quiet folk and dancing my way into new love for England’s answer to Vampire Weekend.



They are another in a long ling of bands bringing a high degree of energy and polish to not only their recorded material, but stage show while still incorporating the witty vocal banter indicating their youth and whimsy.
