East York - Single Review: Outsiders

08 Nov 2020 // A review by Kerry MB

Comprised of three Kiwis, Zane Rosanoski (drums) Tarquin Keys (vocals) Daz Coppins (guitar), and a Canadian, Eric Boucher (bass). Formed in Melbourne during pandemic times comes the Rock quartet, East York.

During the first wave of lockdowns in April 2020 ideas and music had started to form. Before long, with the help of the internet, East York had begun and this is their debut single, Outsiders.

As a tribute to those who walk a different path to societal norms, Outsiders is a journey of self-discovery according to vocalist, Tarquin Keys.

From the outset it erupts with a ferocious build up combined with driving guitar riffs, split second guttural screams and followed swiftly by Tarquin’s strong and melodic tone. It’s catchy as hell, has great lyricism and even with its flip flop between straight rock and scream core metal vocals and riffs, it is incredibly uplifting from start to finish.

It’s a strong and bold single to release as their first single and I think they’ve nailed it.

As a taste of what is to come, there is exciting times ahead and I can’t wait to see what unfolds.

Rating: ( 5 / 5 )
 

About East York

From a normal start to a pandemic release, East York brings you their first ever single Outsiders.

When talking about the new track, Tarquin (Vocalist) says: "Outsiders is a tribute to the ones who walk on the outside of society. It speaks to those of us who play the game of life on our own terms and, who don't care to swim with the tide." It is always a journey of discovery when starting a new band but East York have found their grounding in Rock.

Their debut single will have you yearning for more and we can confirm, there is more to come.

Pale Flag - EP Review: Imperium
29 Jan 2024 // by Kerry MB
With a lot of misconceptions about deathcore, it’d be easy to lump Pale Flag into “one of those bands” based on the sub-genre alone. Luckily, I love metal in the most extreme and Pale Flag just so happen to create deathcore of the finest, which makes it even better to enjoy.

Broke - EP Review: Douse Another Care
04 Dec 2023 // by Kerry MB
Broke are a five-piece from Taranaki who love to jam and make great music together. What started out originally as a solo project by Hamish McDonald (lead guitar and vocals) and resulted in a self-written, recorded and produced debut album Momento Mori in 2021, eventually paved the way for the lads to make it official and start creating new music together.

Stray Dogs - Album Review: Stay Loyal
01 Oct 2023 // by Kerry MB
I feel there’s something extra in the old school pop punk waters lately with Blink 182 hitting our shores early next year, and Sum 41 releasing new music too for the first time in four years. It’s an exciting time if you’re a millennial, and for those of us who were teenagers in the early 2000’s, pop punk (and nu metal) reigned.
