FEATURED INTERVIEW

THE SKINNER BROTHERS INTERVIEW

“Now what am I gonna hope for? To get on a big playlist? You can’t show that to your Grandad” Northern Exposure 'Featured Friday Interview' with Zach from The Skinner Brothers EP ICONIC is released today.

AIME SIMONE - 'IN THIS DARK TIME'

Uplifting, yet thought provoking melancholy pop music with danceable beats. Aime Simone is based in Paris, he released his debut album 'Say Yes, Say No' last summer which is the perfect album for these uncertain times. It features his infectious standout single 'In This Dark Time' which has now surpassed 900k plays.

THE SKINNER BROTHERS - 'LOW'

Glam stomper ‘Low’ has already received several plays on Steve Lamaq’s BBC Radio 6 Show and it’s easy to see why with songs so well-crafted and suited for the airwaves. The first 3 songs on the record undoubtably benefit from input of Grammy-nominated producer James Krausse – not for any outlandish creative reason; just a simple observation based on the rather chunky and fulfilling production, which Skinner acknowledges himself was a conscious decision to get the record sounding as ‘big and heavy’ as possible. The video directed by creative collaborator Connor Hill (who also designed the artwork) paints Skinner and the band in their best light – real-life faces in a real-life environment. Zero bullshit. The bands new EP Iconic is out this Friday read our review on the site.

PASTEL - 'DEEPER THAN HOLY'

In 6 weeks Pastel have had 40k streams on Spotify, 22k streams on You Tube and 100k across all streaming platforms. All fuelled by word of mouth. The bands highly anticipated next single 'Blu' is due to drop in June and is to be released on Spirit Of Spike Island Records. The band have just finished the video for the single, shot in Manchester with Charlie Lightening.

THE CHASE - 'I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE SHARE THE SAME NAME'

Four piece brit-pop\indie band, The Chase from Nottingham have been playing together since their pre-teens and their music has been featured on Hollyoaks and BBC Introducing. They’ve been a firm favourite at NE since hearing their last release ‘Black Cloud’ and the boys have yet again knocked it out of the park with new release ‘I Just Can’t Believe That We Share The Same Name’.

THE CROOKS - 'FRANKIE'

The Crooks from Chesterfield formed in 2019 and have released a plethora tunes including one of their most popular songs ‘She Walks Alone’, a song that easily climbed over 200,000 Spotify streams. Radio play has come from the UK’s Radio X, BBC Introducing and the band have gained support from multiple stations overseas. ‘I wonder’ is the next single set to be released in May 2021 on Golden Robot Records. A near sold out headline UK tour kicks off in their home town of Chesterfield on November 5th.

MEGAN WYN - 'POLAROID'

There’s nothing quite like the rush of connecting with a great new artist — especially ahead of the pack — but they’re not always easy to find. The music industry has always been a place for rising young stars and I’d like to introduce you to one right now, the hotly-tipped Megan Wyn. Megan is only 16 and already gaining a huge fanbase with her own unique musical style and magnificent vocals. A singer/songwriter, who’s is trained in Opera and Musical Theatre, Megan successfully fuses different musical genres to create her own sound.
