The Black Map #72: Creak from Newcastle!

Heading North from Birmingham to Newcastle for this weeks entry in the Black Map of the UK Metal Underground scene, it’s time to check out Creak. Calling themselves a Grove orientated Nu-Metalcore band they’ve dropped a pair of singles in the past 9 months with “(W)retch” featuring Loathe guitarist Connor Sweeny clocking up more than 10k worth of streams on Spotify. The quartet of vocalist Jack Dunn, guitarist Patrick Morton, bassist Josh Wanless and drummer Robert Wilkinson have followed Starve To Survive out of the North East region that is starting to showcase some serious talent. Recording a live video at the Riverside in Newcastle that was let out of the bag in April, they followed that up with single “Recluse” and will join God Complex and MTXS in December for a run of six shows that promise to be a pure adrenaline rush of vented sickness! They will also be appearing with Hardcore legends Hoods who are celebrating 25 years together in October!
