Taking their musical cues from the likes of Bloc Party and Biffy Clyro, sprightly indie-pop upstarts No Time For Reason are set to perform their first headline show at the Newcastle O2 Academy in the New Year.
Having made a name for themselves for catchy riffs and gruff hooky vocal lines, coupled with their distinctive heavy rock guitars, the band will bring their energetic and eclectic sound to the O2 Academy 2 stage on Thursday 30th January for what is expected to be their first major sell-out show.
After forming less than a year ago, No Time For Reason wasted no time making their mark on the Newcastle music scene, releasing a series of popular singles and performing some packed shows across the North East, including a headline spot at The Cluny.
The four-piece had their very first show at The Riverside, Newcastle, managing to draw a 250-strong crowd in the process and, since then, their fanbase has gone from strength to strength.
Self-described as a ‘motley crew of influences’, the band’s inspirations span from EDM to jazz, but their love of pop-punk is what shines through, with their sound being compared to the likes of Panic At The Disco, Blink 182, Bloc Party and Biffy Clyro.
As chief songsmith, frontman David Stoker aims to provide a voice for millennials and Generation Z, drawing from personal experiences to offer his own take on 21st Century pop culture with wit and candour. Stoker’s vocals are complemented by the characteristically fun and energetic instrumentals provided by Charlie Philip (guitar), Henry Poxon (bass) and Tony McHaddan (drums).
Along with the highly anticipated O2 Academy show, January will also see No Time For Reason release their third single, ‘Novocain’. This comes off the back of their latest single ‘Catfish’, an energetic, guitar-driven indie rock anthem satirising contemporary online dating culture.
Support comes from The Escapades – known for their contemporary take on ’90s-inspired Britpop and good old-fashioned Glam – and acoustic singer-songwriter Connor Haley.
