"There are only two adjectives music writers care about – “brilliant” and “different” – and Detroit Social Club — despite only being together an incredibly short amount of time — already have a freehold on both.

This is largely due to lead singer and songwriter David Burn’s determination to shake up a musical landscape, which has become both bland and predictable. He has spent the last two years in the band’s purpose built studio on the banks of the Tyne, carefully producing and piecing together a music assemble which is as refreshing as it is dynamic, with some of the North‑East’s finest young musicians making up the six‑piece.

Kneading New York’s vibrant 1970s punk scene with the Detroit Garage stage of the mid 1990s, you can’t fail to be blown away by the dirty overdriven guitar riffs, heavy bass, booming drums and fantastically raw and powerful vocals.

But what will engage the audience most is the way the filthy rock rock‑n-roll is complimented by the fact that they have something to say. This is summed up perfectly by the delicate nature of the lyrics, which ooze soul and passion and show the insightful side to a group who is not scared to deliver messages about love and life. They make you remember why you enjoy music in the first place, they make you aware of all those lost girlfriends and the friends that helped you forget them, and why it is we all go out on a Friday smoke an outrageous amount of cigarettes and fall over each other on nightclub dance floors.

Detroit Social Club come together to create a quite unique and hugely magnetic sound which — despite being already drawn in comparisons to acts such as the Velvet Underground, Brian Jones Town Massacre, Gomez and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – is set to stamp it’s very own authority in a market that is crying out for something more."
