Playlist: from Bronte to Black Metal
Jodie Nicholson – You Wanted This Jodie’s debut album, Safe Hands, came out a couple of weeks ago (and got some attention in an earlier playlist).

A Whimsigoth Playlist
What is Whimsigoth? It's a goth style altered by themes of space and nature. Witch themes can also be a considered definition. When I see a Whimsigoth outfit, the first thing that comes to my mind is how it has a supernatural vibe. In my definition of Whimsigoth, it's a lighter version of the goth genre, a hippie version of goth.

Playlist: Pigs, parties and Portuguese
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – Mr Medicine It’s easy to mock the metalheads. But we don’t do cheap shots here, plus we like a bit of metal now and then (especially if the now is hammering back up the A1 in the middle of the night). Pigs x7 (the approved shorthand for a name that requires a big billboard) rock like a good ‘un and have a happy knack of pushing their own sonic boundaries without disappearing down an unwanted rabbit hole.

While it’s fairly easy to throw together diverse influences, Newcastle-based Jayne Dent has the talent to ensure that the end result is more than the sum of its parts.

Playlist: More than a stone's throw
Vice Killer – The Dark Side of the Railway Forty years after the Miners’ Strike, the scars are still keenly felt in northern England. Although the members of this County Durham band wasn’t even born back then, the atmosphere of the former coal-mining communities around their native Peterlee pervades their “Keep on Fighting On” EP. The title track is the most explicitly political cut, an angry swipe at Thatcherite politics that taps into a deep seam of resentment over a government that stripped communities of work and identity while bringing nothing in return.

Playlist: Safe hands throwing stones
Jodie Nicholson – Another Frequency One of the most exciting things about following the emergence of young musicians is hearing how their music evolves and matures. Jodie Nicholson, whose new album is out on today and gets a gala launch at the Glasshouse in Gateshead on May 18, is a great example. A talented songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, her debut album, "Golden Hour", was a relatively restrained, largely acoustic effort. Its obvious qualities got a bit lost in the Covid carnage – no chance to put on any gigs in support of the release – and much of what she could do online had to be stripped back to voice and guitar or keyboards.
