Docksuns write melodic indie rock ‘n’ roll anthems

Five Sunderland lads with a mission; play Glastonbury in a Sunderland shirt. That’s what Docksuns intend to do with melodic indie rock ‘n’ roll.

Their new single ‘Dancing on the Radio’ is unpolished and intense, visceral and real, their raspy vocals and rousing choruses. The track tells the story of an ex who became a popstar. Docksuns incidentally, don’t deny or confirm the existence of such an ex, but the track provides biting commentary on fame and suggests there is no place like home.

Docksuns formed in January 2019 around the songwriting nucleus of lead guitarist Neil and vocalist James. They have four tracks under their belts as they set out to write melodic rock’n’roll anthems, powered by hooky guitar riffs and gritty north-eastern working-class attitude.

With regular appearances on BBC Introducing in the North East, Docksuns have also played capacity headline shows across the region in venues such as Think Tank, Newcastle and Independent, Sunderland.

Their gigs are loud, rambunctious affairs followed by an after party for their fans; it’s a tradition called rock ’n’ roll. Now, check out ‘Dancing on the Radio’ below and leave an ICM Rating out of 10.
