Northampton based indie rockers Newislands were in Manchester to perform at In The City festival when we managed to film them playing this acoustic version of their track ‘Out Of Time’. Love these lads.

About
Newislands
Thursday, March 18th, 2010, 12:30 am2009 has been the year of the fashionable synth bands who, for a
while, gave us a little of what we needed. Uplifting tunes offered by
acts etched on the right side of credible cool. However, there comes
a time when a cry for substance-over-style rises up. A time when
people who like the pop-edged synth of yesteryear, crave the meat
of guitars and the rhythmic joys of a full drum kit, when their music
desires aren’t limited to the simply infectious but arms-in-the-air,
soundtrack-of-our-lives anthemic.
It appears new band NewIslands have arrived at the right time. On
15th March 2010 they release their debut single ‘Out of Time’ on
new label YouWillBeFollowing. As anthemic as they come,
‘Out of Time’ on first listen is like an old favoutite song you had forgotten you knew, yet simultaneously it’s like nothing you’ve
heard before – all dreamy, swirling keyboards and yearning,
building vocals.
