Welcome to Northern Noise.

I am a student from Manchester studying at Newcastle University, with a love for live music, music events, finding new artists, songs, albums, and the places that bring all these things together. Moving to a new city I often found it difficult to get to know the local music scene. Here at the Northern Noise I hope to make all this a little bit easier. Here you will find news, updates, reviews and much more all focused on events, upcoming artists, new releases from your favourite local bands and everything else the thriving North East music scene has to offer.

Reviews

This site will post a range of reviews. Some reviews will be of live performances from the heart of the North East either from local bands or larger ones visiting our wonderful corner of the country. You will also find reviews of new releases, from songs to EPs, all produced from the talent of the North East.

'North East noise' is an upcoming film that follows the band @clippahuk and explores what it means to be a part of the north East music scene. 'North East noise' is an upcoming film that follows the band @clippahuk and explores what it means to be a part of the north East music scene. On the 27th of November 2020, North East artist @sophia.musicx , released her chilling pop single, ‘Skin’ and its nothing but a signifier of the future success in store for this rising artist. At number 2 of my top 5 EPs from 2020 for Spotlight, comes @marthahillmusic with 'summer up north'. At number 3 of my top 5 EPs from 2020 for Spotlight, comes @cortneydixon with 'Our Intuition' . I have previously done an in depth review of this EP which you can find @northernnoise_ reviews or the @titsupontyne website!! 'This announcement comes following an earlier November announcement that stated the show was to come in the form of a livestream instead of an in-person socially distanced live performance. This too was due to Covid-19 related circumstances.' At number four in my guest top 5 for @spotlightmusicne is the chaotic calamity of sound, punk group that is the brilliant @weareblom , with their May release, ‘Flower Violence’. Earning airtime on BBC Radio 1 as part of @idlesband ’s future artists mixtape, this band are destined for success similar to that of artists such as @fontainesband ,@pigsx7 , @blackhoneyuk and the heroes of the current Post-Punk revolution, @idlesband themselves. At number 5 of my top 5 EPs from 2020 comes @pavethejungleband 's debut EP, 'The Hissing'. I have recently written a guest article for @spotlightmusicne covering my top 5 EPs from emerging North East Artists in 2020.
