Watch Red Rum Club Live From The Palm House
Red Rum Club – Live from The Hollow of Humdrum Red Rum Club play one of Liverpool’s most beautiful, and unusual venues to beat the lockdown blues, bringing their brass-fired heat to the stunning Palm House in Sefton Park. A ray of sunshine when we need it the most, the band’s bright, optimistic, summertime tunes find a perfect backdrop in the 1896 architectural treasure. In light of a second national lockdown, Red Rum Club have…

KEEF’s New Track ‘In This Town’ Is A Dark Indie Throwback
A drumbeat kickstarts KEEF’s fifth single In This Town before the guitars step forward and get the ball rolling on a throwback indie/psychedelic adventure. The idea of place is explored frequently by songwriters far and wide, but KEEF approach matters from a different perspective as they give column inches to the darker nature of your neck of the woods. “In this town” precedes pretty much every cutting indictment for the length of the track as…

Motel Sundown Release The Wonderfully Woven Track ‘Before Midnight’
With an impressive array of festivals and radio plays already under their belts, Motel Sundown are firmly on track to build on their previous successes with their latest single release Before Midnight and show off more of those wonderfully woven folk rock harmonies. The line up, consisting of Naomi Campbell, Karen Turley and Rob Johnson, seems like it has the talent and musicality to go the distance when it comes to keeping listeners enamoured with the Americana style that they brilliantly showcase, with…

Eyesore & The Jinx At Future Yard: Youtube Stream Gig Preview
We’re all craving a bit of live music at the moment and there’s nothing I’d like more this weekend than to be getting stamped on by sweaty strangers in a gig pit, swilled with cheap lager and gob. It’s funny the things you miss in lockdown, isn’t it? Here to save the day are post-punksters Eyesore & The Jinx, who have recorded their first live show in eight months, to be broadcast online this Friday…

One word to describe this track? Goosebumps. This beautiful new song by Loris and the Lion is 6 minutes of pure bliss. Loris and the Lion are a Alternative Folk band from Liverpool and describe this new track as a ‘haunting tale of love and loss, freedom and captivity.’ The atmospheric opening of the track, distant sounds and tinkling piano transports you to another world as you wait with eager anticipation for the voices to…

Generation Erupt onto the Scene With Their Debut Single Suicidal Champagne
The new and brash punk duo known as Generation have released their angst fueled debut single Suicidal Champagne – a fast and enthralling punk number to get your heart pounding. It seems that punk is making a comeback amongst the Liverpool scene. Artists are starting to latch onto an aggressive outlet that assists in accurately channeling the hostility they feel towards those in power whom have handled the fragility of the creative industry with such…

In these current times of Covid uncertainty, where we all live in social bubbles and everyday seems the same, with the Arts under threat, it is now that the transcendence provided by music is in need the most. It is good for one’s soul to be transported into different aural realms, and we need the musicians of calibre that can transport us there. So thank goodness for San Pedro’s Vision. The Subconscious Reflection EP consists…

The changing of seasons is a fascinating time of year. A time for leaving things behind whilst simultaneously opening our eyes to new horizons. It is only fitting perhaps that local singer/songwriter Jonny Taylor bursts onto the scene with his first single Walk Along the River to water down your summer rue and embrace the next journey ahead. Walk Along the River is a track heard best whilst on the go. It’s a song for…

In Conversation – Joe Symes & The Loving Kind
Sheltering from a horrible Saturday afternoon wash-out, we caught up with Colin White of Joe Symes & The Loving Kind to talk albums, EPs and everything in between. The band, formulated of Joe Symes on guitar/lead vocals/harmonica, Colin White as drummer/percussion/backing vocals and Alan Welsh on bass, have been on the scene since 2015 (or, in Colin’s words, “Yeh around then, maybe earlier or later, sounds about right!”) and have since recorded an impressive back catalogue of songs for their ever-growing global fanbase. More…

Salt The Snail Return With Their New Single Maaate
Salt The Snail have released their ear lashing new garage rock single Maaate – A rawly produced track that’s reminiscent of a 90s punk energy. Within the context of today’s music landscape, it seems almost every track that is released has to be polished to perfection. Due to the vast array of artists and producers that inhabit the industry, each member sets a precedent for one another; a precedent of rhythmically clean guitars that pan…

Hannah’s Little Sister Release New Single ‘Gum’
With the most playful tone towards anti-establishment sentiments, Hannah’s Little Sister released their latest single Gum ahead of their debut EP EP.mp3 Hannah’s Little Sister are a junk-pop quartet that have been sporadically infusing elements of punk, pop and indie into their bizarre discography of synth-heavy arcade styled tracks. These four unconventional musicians are shamelessly throwing their abrasive energy into the ears of their listeners, whom are quick to requite adoration for their alien aesthetic.…

Cures and Curses ‘Owe You Nothing’ Is An Anthemic Post-Breakup Track
Cures and Curses is the solo project of 22 year old South London native, Aaron Akpojaro, founded in Liverpool in 2017. This month sees the release of his third single, Owe You Nothing. Having not heard of Cures and Curses before, I visited his previous two singles, No Fun and Fall Apart, Crash Together, and if you haven’t already, I recommend blasting out these two tracks in anticipation of his new release. With each single…

Liverpool Noise Autumn Spotify Playlist
As expected, the initial lockdown following the UK’s Covid-19 outbreak allowed for musicians to knuckle down and really sharpen their creative abilities. This has given many artists in Liverpool a chance to hone their sound and create a better vision for where they want their music to take them, leading to a storm of new music to overwhelm the city’s profusion of creatively enthused inhabitants. Once again, we at Liverpool Noise have compiled a Spotify…

Luke Royalty – I Could Get Used To This
Continuing his contemporary RnB sound, Luke Royalty’s new track I Could Get Used To This features Manchester rapper Sweets in order to provide a layer of loose attitude. Luke Royalty certainly demonstrated his creative value with his last single October Seven.

Paint Me In Colour Release EP ‘Labels Opinions & Preconceptions’
Paint Me In Colour have bowled us away with their debut EP Labels Opinions & Preconceptions. If there’s anything this 7-track EP shouldn’t have, it’s labels and preconceptions. Whilst they’ve officially been around since 2017, mostly writing and recording in their own studio, you’d be forgiven for not having already heard of this Liverpool 3-piece group. Since the release of their first two singles Feel It & 1968, which both eventually featured in the EP, they’ve been tucked away ensuring they…
