ARTIST PROFILE
Kev Nolan
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
band: Tired of Fighting/Blame Yourself
STICK SIZE: 5AR
I started playing when I was about 13, I only did it because there was not enough drummers that me and my friends knew who we could start bands with, so I picked them up. I’ve been in and out of various bands, with lots of different styles, which works with my musical taste, as I listen to a lot of different stuff. My first real gigging band was a Rage Against The Machine tribute act, which, eventually lead me onto other, bigger projects. Thrash Metal, Groove Metal, Hard Rock, Ska and Emo to name a few of the styles I’ve played. Several major festivals,and tours later, it is now 2023 and I am locked into the two best projects I have ever been a part of. Tired of Fighting, an “old school” Emo band, mixing together those beautiful clean vocals with the heavier style 2000’s emo music style. & Blame Yourself, our take on the Midwest sound, the shimmering gorgeous guitars with big thick drums.
“Press Quotes & Testimonials”
A plethora of crunching riffs, melodic soloing and agreeable lyrical discourse will be just enough for the purists, while a false ending leaves enough time for a final emotionally crushing wig-out and enough crossover potential for indie and rock nights both. -NARC MAGAZINE- Almost like an internal monologue of thoughts, ‘Hollow’ feels alike to a diary, showing an openness through a period that sees you at your most vulnerable. Released for the holiday season, ‘Hollow’ is certainly a track that’ll keep you company for a Christmas that might not be so easy to celebrate alone, but Tired of Fighting are here to reassure that this period is one you can grow and push through to the other side of. -EXISTENTIAL MAGAZINE-
