June 21, 2016

Newcomers Witterquick are making quite an impression on the alternative rock scene as they bring an addictive fresh energy to their music that we have been craving.

Frontmant Will Alford comments: “I sent Ollie [Chanter, bass] the initial demo for ‘Rise’, which at that time consisted of only piano and vocal. He listened to the song on loop all the way up to London, which is a four hour train ride away from where we live. “It’s become a pretty special song for all the band, its about having the courage to chase your dreams, and picking yourself up and carrying on even when things seem hopeless. It really captured that moment in our lives and it was the first time that we realised that we had something special, that we weren’t just five guys playing some songs, we were a band that [Read More]

June 21, 2016

The pop punk band Masked Intruder have released a new music video for their track, Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt. The track is found on the band’s upcoming EP “Love And Other Crimes”, that’s due out on July 8th via Pure Noise Records. Fans can pre-order the record now.  Blue Intruder comments about the video, “This video depicts a robbery, which you shouldn’t try at home. Mostly cause that wouldn’t make any sense… If you’re gonna try robbery, make sure you do it at someone else’s home. That’s really the first thing about robbery. Also, this video has a lot of references and nods and stuff like that. So, if you’re a nerd, you should like it. So, I guess if you’re a nerd who likes robbery, you should be pretty stoked. Also, the song is cool. It’s about a girl”.  Check out the video  here: Make sure to visit their social media sites.
