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?

Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard have always been something of an ethereal beast.
