EVOLUTION EMERGING - The Cumberland Arms

The Cumberland Arms

James Place Street, Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle

Coal Train

10.00-10.30pm

Formed from the ashes of much-missed Sunderland outfit This Aint Vegas come Coal Train, a band with every bit as much skewed melody and sonic firepower as their predecessors. Drawing on influences such as The Band, Wilco and Red House Painters, the four-piece have etched a fresh new sound that still captures the raw energy of their DIY punk rock past. They release their next single 'Carry you on my shoulders' 11th April followed by a spring European tour covering Germany and Czech Republic.
