Joe Symes - British Invasion

Joe Symes and The Loving Kind help relive 80's Bowie, Brit-Pop and the solo workings of Sir Paul Mc- Cartney. Simplistic yet all the same intensely powerful, Liverpool's acoustic/rock five-piece bring a relaxation to the mind to create a hypnotic trance, fitting in with their own rock-esque image. So far the musicians have had many an experience in the past years, one of the more notable milestones, headlining Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds after show party, proving their musical prowess within the industry. Read more... 
Where Do I Belong, the first track I got my ears on, blows all other music choices out of the window, making me favour more towards this experimental talent than any artist out there to date. To approach the music, you have to appreciate the deliberately slow vocals of Symes to understand the complexity of the track. This very ensemble reveals such great triumph full of sheer determination which cleverly intertwines within the music. Compelling all to pick up a guitar, tune up the vocal chords and sing along to their dreamlike music.

Another track, A World out Your Window, opens up the truth of the world around you. Giving a stark re- minder of reality through the coated facade that the majority of the music to date contains, there is no fairy-tale behind these words, only the truth, this truth becoming the basis for an altogether amazing track. There is no need for sugar coating the lyrics or music behind this track, an honest, frank opinion is all that helps to complete every second, every breath... increasing the interest with every beat.

All in all, Joe Symes and the Loving Kind create the most realistic and compelling music. Outspoken and completely original, you just don't get this opinion-ated power inside the music industry any more. We leave it up to the artists under the radar to create this compelling style of music, something which larger artists within the charts today don't seem to touch upon, if at all. We need venom in a stylish, practical way, we have the whole package right here.

Before the day's Threshold Festival entertainments had started, Siren had had a few of the performers which were making the Baltic Quarter their home for the weekend going through their paces, a pre-match warm up in which to shake any dust out of the lungs that could scupper a great performance. By the end of the day, Joe Symes and the Loving Kind were playing to a packed out audience who had seen many superb musicians during the day but who were in the mood for just one more superb act to finish the day with. Read more...
