Supporting the artists and venues that shape the North East’s music scene.

SoundBite North East champions local talent, celebrates grassroots venues, and gives our region’s music community the platform it deserves. Whether you’re discovering a new single, EP or album, exploring our latest New Singles, New EPs or New Albums, or diving into our single, EP and album reviews — this is where new music finds its voice.

We also cover the heart of the region’s live scene with in-depth gig reviews, festival news and the latest gig & tour announcements, alongside all breaking updates in our Latest News hub. If you’re looking for something to see this week, our dedicated North East Gig Listings keeps you connected to what’s happening across the region.

SoundBite is built for the community. Artists can promote their work through our Artist Profile Submission page, while venues, promoters and musicians can submit gigs and share new releases via our Submit a Single, Submit an EP and Submit an Album forms — ensuring everyone in the North East has a voice.

Your scene. Your stories. Your SoundBite.
