The Big Über Rock Interview – Ward XVI

Posted by | Feb 16, 2019 | , |

So, the first festival of the year is finally upon us, in the shape of the HRH Metal shebang in the home of the genre, Birmingham. In the weeks leading up to this moohassive weekender, we have been chatting to some of the lower order acts to get their take on the event and find out what they are up to currently and in the near future… In our latest chinwag, we invited Preston-based metallians Ward XVI take time out of their day to day lives to grab a coffee and have a chat with us at ÜRHQ. They tell us all about the band’s plans, festivals and give us an update on their next album.

In the weeks leading up to this moohassive weekender, we have been chatting to some of the lower order acts to get their take on the event and find out what they are up to currently and in the near future… In our latest chinwag, we dialled up the hotline from ÜRHQ to the Midlands to catch up with a band seeking to follow in the footsteps of their fellow Stourbridge natives Diamond Head, in the shape of Left For Red.

We don’t know what they’re putting in the beer in Australia, but it certainly seems to have got the creative juices flowing in the land down under, as a plethora of hot, talented new rock ‘n’ roll bands have been emerging on a virtually weekly basis over the past year or so. Now, you can add the name of Electric Mary to that ever-growing list, as they seek to develop their equally expanding reputation with this, their fourth studio album in their ten years.

Stone Broken/Those Damn Crows/Baleful Creed – Belfast, Voodoo – 10 February 2019

Posted by | Feb 14, 2019 | , |

Stone Broken are, without a doubt, one of the hardest working bands in the Über Rockin’ firmament. They seem to be constantly on the road, and it is a wonder how, given the volume of gigs they perform in any given year, they find time to write and record new material, never mind pause for a valuable sip of Vimto (a reference which will become clear during the interview at the end of this piece). It is this hard-working ethos which seems them currently ploughing the highways and by-ways of the Über Kingdom on yet another headline tour spanning 16 dates, including some out of the way places which many other bands would never even consider visiting. And it was this work ethic, and trek, which saw them return to ÜR’s home city of Belfast to build on the success of their first appearance here, a little less than a year ago, when they blew Buckcherry off the stage (but, then, that’s not hard to do!).

Northshore – ‘For What It’s Worth (EP)’ (Self-Released)

This five-piece from the north east of England have been gaining attention for themselves since their formation in 2017. Comprised of members of other projects, Northshore set about making a name for themselves with their debut EP ‘Alternative Futures’. Extensive UK touring followed the release and support slots with numerous other acts helped the band gain traction amongst live audiences. Their next release was single ‘Father’ featuring accompanying video. The video earned Northshore more online follows and the buzz around them led to further touring with the likes of Mallory Knox as well as solo shows. Now 2019 sees another EP release in the form of six track ‘For What It’s Worth’, with the band now looking to sharpen their sound, what can the listener expect?
