Joel\u2019s quite new to the scene, and as he hasn\u2019t put any material out onto the world wide web yet, we can\u2019t exactly describe his sound to you. But, considering that NIAN has been the first step for plenty of amazing talent, we reckon he\u2019ll put on an ace show.<\/p>\n<p>Next up we\u2019ve got <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/2HoursLate.co.uk?fref=ts\">2 HOURS LATE<\/a><\/strong> who bring a bit of a heavier Alternative sound to the evening. Catchy heavy riffs and percussion, mixed with fast vocals make for something totally unqiue, and highly enjoyable. We reckon a few mosh pits might be kicking off!<\/p>\n<p>Following we\u2019ll have those fellas in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lessthannothingband?fref=ts\">LESS THAN NOTHING<\/a><\/strong>, our Artist of the Month last month, we were stunned by their debut album \u201c<em>It Will Set You Free<\/em>\u201d, an entirely instumental album, but one that kept you hooked the entire way through. We cannot wait to see some of these new tunes live, and trust us, even if you\u2019re not into instrumental stuff normally, chances are you\u2019ll love these guys!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/breakingbonesuk?fref=ts\">BREAKING BONES<\/a><\/strong> are up next with some good old fashioned Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll. I think the band sum themselves up the best when they say that they \u201cjust want to play the kind of stuff that got us into Rock music. <strong>Aerosmith<\/strong>, <strong>Van Halen<\/strong>, <strong>AC\/DC<\/strong>\u2026\u201d You can definitely see the classic Rock influence, and these guys certainly bring the Rock party!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, rounding the night off in true headbanging style, we have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AnEmpireWillFall?fref=ts\">AN EMPIRE WILL FALL<\/a><\/strong>; a band whose name kind of gives away their sound. These fellas make Melodic Deathcore. What\u2019s that mean? It means one minute they\u2019re thrashing your face off with intense riffage and screams, and the next, you\u2019re singing along at the top of you lungs to some of their ridiculously catchy melodies. Definitely worth a watch! <\/p>\n<p>Price: \u00a33<br \/>\nDoors: 7:30PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This Thursday at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/goldenfleecenottingham?fref=ts#\">The Golden Fleece<\/a><\/strong> you can expect to find some tip-top talent to kick off your pre-weekend in the best way!<\/p>\n<p>Starting us off we\u2019ve got the in your face Rock &#038; Roll sounds of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SameStreets14?fref=ts\">SAME STREETS<\/a><\/strong>. Despite the lads still being in their teens, this lot have got an incredibly refined sound. With tight songwriting, a knack for a catchy melody, and bags of swagattude (yup, I made that up, no, I don\u2019t regret it), these guys always put on a wicked show, and we\u2019re sure this night will be no different! <\/p>\n<p>Following we\u2019ll have the honest Country-Folk sounds of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mattmcauliffemusic?fref=ts\">MATT MCAULIFFE<\/a><\/strong>. We honestly love Matt\u2019s songwriting here at Nusic, I mean, not too many peeps can get away with a song called \u201c<em>I Feel Shit<\/em>\u201d, but Matt does, and he manages to somehow cheer even the most miserable of sods up with his music. Highly recommended!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, rounding the night off we\u2019ve got <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EllieKeeganMusic?fref=ts\">ELLIE MAE KEEGAN<\/a><\/strong>, a lovely lass from Mansfield who makes what she describes as \u201cSoft-Folk.\u201d Now that probably gives you a good idea of what to expect, but, what you won\u2019t be expecting is her incredibly soulful vocal which stuns pretty much everyone who hears it! With an EP on the way,she\u2019s got plenty of new tunes to astound you with, and we\u2019re sure she\u2019ll round the night off in style! <\/p>\n<p>Price: Free<br \/>\nDoors: 8PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nottcontemporary?fref=ts\">Nottingham Contemporary<\/a><\/strong> are putting on an event called <strong>COLLABOR-8<\/strong>, which is a unique art event all about taking selfies. It sounds proper interesting, but from a Nusic perspective, there\u2019 seven Notts musicians taking to the stage! <\/p>\n<p>Kicking things off we\u2019ll have the youthful girl Punk of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BABEPUNCH?fref=ts\">BABE PUNCH<\/a><\/strong>. A fairly new band, this will be their first ever gig! As they\u2019re also new to the social media world, they haven\u2019t got any material online, but we\u2019re sure they\u2019ll got a raucous party going off at Tempreh! <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/phoebeballmusic?fref=ts\">PHOEBE BALL<\/a><\/strong> will be bringing some of her soulful sounds to the evening. Phoebe mixes loads of different genres together to make a catchy little concoction that sounds totally unique. Hints of Folk, Jazz, Soul and Acoustic can be heard through her voice, and she has a knack for writing a super sweet song too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IamStarzMusic?fref=ts\">STARZ<\/a><\/strong> is up next with her Atmospheric Indie sounds. Despite being just 15, you\u2019ll have seen Starz putting her all in at loads of gigs around the city, and making quite a name for herself. We\u2019re not surprised though, with her beautiful voice and honest songwriting, she\u2019s definitely a treat for the ears.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Ex-Friendly\/261685397210143?fref=ts\">EX-FRIENDLY<\/a><\/strong> will be bringing his soulful productions to the evening. This fella makes Electronic Soul and adds some slick vocals on the top, to make sounds that are as soothing to listen to as they are satisfying. Quite unlike anything we\u2019ve heard recently, we highly recommend you give this fella a listen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TrayElectric?fref=ts\">TRAY ELECTRIC<\/a><\/strong> keeps the Electronic vibes going with his melodic Electronica. Whether you\u2019re dancing your arse off to it, or just sitting back and appreciating it, tunes like \u201c<em>Sonnet<\/em>\u201d, really are something special live, so you\u2019re in for a treat with this performance! <\/p>\n<p>Rounding everything off we have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wanderlingsuk?fref=ts\">WANDERLINGS<\/a><\/strong> who bring some Psychedelic Dream-Pop to the evening. A band that are as brilliant as they are out there. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wanderlingsuk?fref=ts\">WANDERLINGS<\/a><\/strong> bring euphoric spacey sounds that wouldn\u2019t seem odd as the soundtrack to one of Noel Fielding\u2019s creations, and we mean that as a compliment. <\/p>\n<p>Doors: 7.30PM<br \/>\nPrice: Free<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Love of New Music,<br \/>\nSam Nahirny x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week sees yet another ace seven days for the Nottingham music scene, with a right mish mash of genres across the week!
