No Friend To Me: 9LINER brushes away the fake silver spoon society on LOYALTY

Posted on 24 December 2022

Produced by FREEK VAN WORKUM, 9LINER values the real over the false tales, which can take many content souls away from where they were headed in the first place with LOYALTY.

9LINER is a 27-year-old North East, UK-based indie hip hop artist who seems to summon the lyrical gods on each one of his meaningful soundtracks.

”My inspiration for becoming an artist are mainly people like Ryan Upchurch, Adam Calhoun, Brantly Gilbert Jelly Roll real people with real lives, and not some celebrity flashing their cash sitting in the newest car talking about how many diamonds they have in a watch.” ~ 9LINER

Instilling so much emotion into our lives with a flourishing display of note, 9LINER rocket launch themselves into our galaxy with quite sublime performance to tell the whole neighbourhood about.

LOYALTY from North East, UK-based indie hip hop artist 9LINER is a superb track which will wake many sleepy souls up. Smashing through all barriers and slicing through all eardrums, this is a totally enjoyable track to inspire many to be better friends. Powering in with tons of energy and thrilling our senses rather exponentially, we find a dynamic single to turn up rather loud and proud.

Hear this fine new single on YouTube. See more on IG.

She breaks free: Newcastle upon Tyne legends The Questionnaires show us that class is permanent on ‘The Illustrated Woman’

The Questionnaires show that years of experience and training does indeed matter, on a special song taken off their long-awaited album ‘Atlantic Ridge‘ and this is a spectacular single that has undeniable class that is called ‘The Illustrated Woman‘.

The Questionnaires are a North East, UK-based band lead by the lyrics and direction of Steve Hall and Jane Wade. A multi-genre group with elements of alt-folk, alt-country, soft rock and pure pop wrapped with so much authenticity, this dynamic group meshes in some of Tyneside’s most well-respected musicians to formulate a mixture of that quality golden sound, that you hardly hear these days.

Featuring a full six-piece band plus four guests to make this a truly memorable old school experience, you can’t help but smile and appreciate a quality band like this. From the classy vocals that put your anxious body at ease, to the drums, electric and acoustic bass guitars, violin, piano, organ (and probably more hidden instruments)- this is a something that the whole family can enjoy.

This is the story about how a woman has set herself free from being stuck inside as she knows herself so much better now. That ultimately rewarding feeling is so special and one that you only know when you feel it. From being inside the glass and not being happy with what you are doing, is an inner stomach-churning moment that you know you need to get out of and when you do- it feels like you can fly to the moon. Doing what you know you are capable of, is the only way to feel that genuine contentment in life.

‘The Illustrated Woman‘ from Newcastle’s The Questionnaires is a truly classic song from a rare, proper band that put their heart and soul into every note on this single. This is an experienced act that deserve respect in an often fickle music world that either makes you or breaks you in an instant.

They have proven that they wiser heads can still put on a show and that real musicianship takes years of practice and to master your instruments, you’d better be willing to put in the effort otherwise you won’t be timeless.

Support these terrific musicians on YouTube and see more on their FB.
