Fast rising alternative rock outfit Ramellos have steadily been building their live fanbase through support slots with Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard and north east locals Camel Island and Pretty Velvet. They’re ready to kickstart 2025 with their debut single release, ‘Heedless Hearts’ which is out now for all to hear!
They’ve worked with notable recording studio Blank Studios in Newcastle on their soaring debut, about which they said: “this is the most satisfied we’ve ever been with a piece of work, and next year we’ll be sharing it with everyone that’d like to hear it. We are planning our own headline show, plenty more support slots, and we hope to jump on a few festivals over summer, as well as shows around the country!
Vice Killer are Thomas Gilling (lead vocals/guitar), James Langan (lead guitar), Jack Langan (bass) and Lewis Muir (drums).
Following on from their previous release ‘The Red Sky’ The rising North-East band have returned with their fantastic new single ‘Where Can I Find Some Peace?’ A track of pure nostalgia!
Recorded at Newcastle’s Blank Studios, ‘Where Can I Find Some Peace?’ was produced by Chris McManus. The song is intended as a sequel to the story that was told on ‘The Red Sky’ and represents how being happy can’t be forced upon people; some things take time to find your peace.
Vice Killer have a growing reputation as a great live band and they have played this new track a few times live now. The band’s frontman Thomas Gilling had this to say: “Where Can I Find Some Peace?” is one of our favourite songs to play live. It creates a massive energy once the bass and the drums kick in. It would be a perfect song for a Guy Ritchie movie I think!”.
Vice Killer have recorded a music video with Blue Bandit Media who work all around the North-East of England. The music video was filmed in the beautiful Durham, which is close to home for them. Part of the music video was also captured at their Newcastle headline show at Zerox.
On the writing process of the song, Thomas added: “I wanted to write something a little more upbeat, and after watching a performance of ‘The Stone Roses – Fools Gold TOTP (1989)’ I sat down with my acoustic and the rhythm/melody came straight away. I wrote the lyrics within probably 15 minutes and the song was done. I didn’t want to dwell too much on the words, and just sing what I was feeling. We jammed the song in our practice room, taking inspiration from the Madchester scene of the 90’s as well as the soul of Curtis Mayfields ‘Move On Up’”.
Vice Killer released their debut EP in 2021 and quickly gained momentum, headlining sold-out shows in Sunderland and Newcastle in 2022 and they were also featured on BBC Introducing.
