Old school pop punks NINEBANKS just released their most recent works, this month, and have newer working's currently underway. The band also says much about some upcoming shows happening later this month into the rest of this fall.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and members:
Hi we are ninebanks from Sunderland UK! We started up in April 2021.
Jack woods - singer/bassist age 29
Callum Cowie - guitar age 32
Lewis foster - guitar age 30
Jack McGowan - drums age 26
We are all born and bred in Sunderland and have slight connections from us going to the same school and being in older bands in the past. We all love pop punk so when drummer jack got in touch with callum about starting a band he knew jack from a a previous band and knew he was a great song writer for pop punk. We then added Lewis who has been a long time friend of callum. We had our first practice in April and from then on the band has come together very nicely.
2. What’s the origin of the band name:
We were toying with a few band names one of them was matchsticks but there is a place local to us in Northumberland called Ninebanks so we took the name from there! Suppose some people just think it’s a random word like “nine banks” however it is a place in the north east of England.
3. Where is the band based and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend
We are based in Sunderland and the scene is pretty good here especially with the punk scene from the likes of “toy dolls” and the “Angelica upstarts” so a very good old school punk scene back on the 80s There is some great local indie bands going strong like “docksuns” and “the voyd”. Newcastle seems to be where it’s at for pop punk with the likes of “home truths” who are sick! so the pop punk scene is ready to take off with us coming into it now!
4. How would you describe your style?
Old school pop punk taking you back to the Tony hawk style era and 2000s what we all grew up to love and listen too. Our style is very catchy old school pop punk.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works:
We had our first release as a band on Sept. 10th called “innocent” which has had some great feedback. We recorded the drums in a studio the rest was done in lewis spare room with a home studio. We had the help of a very talented injected smile studio based in Germany who did the rest for us and produced our track really well and who we will be working with on future releases.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
We do.
7. How about playing shows and touring, anything planned out:
We have our first show Sept. 24th at Middlesbrough at a venue called doctor browns. We have a show lined up hopefully November 8th at new castle venue think tank supporting some great bands which we are just waiting to confirm.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
We are going to release a new track by the end of the year. We just want to keep writing songs and recording and to try and keep as active as we can as a band to show people we are serious about what we do!
