Newcastle singer Conrad Ashton is back with entertaining single ”Time”

Pop Rock singer-songwriter, Conrad Ashton, from the beautiful town of Spennymoor in County Durham, is back with new music and this time his single is called ”Time”. A positive message is here for our ears to enjoy and Conrad is urging us to make the best use of our time left in this wild world that we reside in.

Always evolving, Conrad is a genuine soul who has a lot of fun with his music and doesn’t take himself too seriously which is great to see. After mainly playing in Leeds and Newcastle, Conrad must be itching to take that stage again and performing his gallivanting style of Rock to his fans delight.

Newcastle based Conrad Ashton takes us on a wild ride, with lots of twists and turns in ”Time”. A fun singer who puts his heart and soul into every note, Conrad is the type of singer-songwriter you would take your whole family to go and watch. With the kids dancing in the front and the oldies swaying at the back while sipping on a few gins. This is terrific music that takes you back to the good old days of simple fun without pretentiousness.

Stream Conrad’s music on his SoundCloud channel right now.

Bobby Quick & The Speeds of Sound – Neanderthal: Garage Grandiosity

Okay, so maybe the band should have worked a little harder to come up with a name to encapsulate their flawless sound.

Their Guitar heavy Pop Rock sound is doused with Garage sensibility complemented with their Alternative Rock retro vibe, which proves to be a mix that is impossible not to fall in love with.

The bouncing melodies pound with the perfect dabbling of reverberation over the guitar to make their standout track Neanderthal a nostalgic sensation, which oddly reminded me of the cult hit Bohemian Like You by The Dandy Warhols. Just how they managed to pack in such an anthemic hit in 2:49 minutes is simply beyond me.

You can taste the Sonic Youth influence in their stand out track Neanderthal which comes off the Neanderthal EP which is due for a 2018 release.

Neanderthal is one of their more feverous tracks off the EP, whilst tracks such as Giving offer a totally different sound which incorporates some industrial EDM elements to create a thoroughly eclectic EP.
