Sunderland music thread

I was. All the bands were good. Slate Label were slick, tight and that voice obviously. However my vote went to The Monday Club because they played passionate songs I could relate to. I liked Slate Label, I loved the Monday Club.

I did however leave before Divine Image (last year's winner) finished playing so I missed the result! But I am getting on a bit so that 's my excuse. I promise I have never done it at a football match. I'll get the result today or wait till the Bunker show on Saturday.

Just seen Lounge Code and Slate Label won and get the chance to play next year's Roulette festival. Lounge Code did have the advantage of bringing a ready made mosh pit of their mates.

keep meaning to go & see Tom Robinson. He always seems to play Sunday night though. Back against the wall is a classic.

I’m the same. And UP against the wall (😉) is probably in my top 10 of all time

That being said I’ve came to these things happen for a couple of pints with my dad and uncle. Black Cadillac are very impressive. Stevie wonder, stones, doors, cream, Tom petty, bb king. Very impressed so fat

My mate was over from Manchester this week and got a full introduction to the Sunderland music scene. He did bemoan the lack of a local music radio programme in Manchester after I introduced him to Spark radio. We are lucky to have this so I thought I'd give my thoughts on this weeks local music features (all very much IMHO). Available on

Saturday 2pm The Bunker

14:06 There's the new single Own Youth Movement from The Polyfillas channeling their inner X-Ray Specs. The band seem to me to understand what punk was originally about better than almost any other Punk band I know.

The Live feature was a number of tracks and interviews from 28/9/24 Live At Otto's. I've not been to one of these yet but I'm regretting it now. My excuse is football away games.

14:35 The acoustic set from Revolve was excellent. I saw them at the Bunker in May as a full band but came away from that being really impressed by Ochisia and Last Case Scenario rather than them. Clearly I had missed out on appreciating them and will make up for that next time I can.

14:46 Scarlett Esme from The Last Time does a cover of Your Face by The Lake Poets. I'm notorious for not liking covers but I didn't know the song so it's okay to say this is a wonderful song delivered beautifully. Clearly I need to check out the original as well.

Sunday 4pm Local Music Show

16:56 Hivemind's latest track Big Deal is a blistering slice of punky noise. If you haven't heard it yet then this is your chance (it's been played a few time in the last few weeks). Sounds to me like the best thing they have recorded.

Second half was devoted to the Roulette Festival Battle of the Bands. They play an interview and a track from each of the bands. Producer Chris did say something about the result being split between the judges and the audience. I'm just guessing that The Monday Club who played first and didn't bring their own audience impressed the neutrals there (like they did me). Sounds to me that they should find another slot at the festival for these lads...
