London-based quartet Night Engine have announced that they release brand new single ‘Seventeen’ - backed with ‘Treat Me Like a Baby’ - on February 18th next year, as well as making B-side ‘Treat Me Like a Baby’ available for free download.
‘Seventeen’ tells the story of a young man from the criminal underworld who can’t escape his fate, whilst ‘Treat Me Like a Baby’ is a shot across the bows of those who criticise new artists for drawing on the past. The band comment: “How many times have you heard ‘That’s been done before…’, as if we’re too young to know or understand? Don’t patronise us. Each generation must discover music for themselves.”
Night Engine formed in January 2012, and by October they uploaded a track of theirs called ‘I’ll Make It Worth Your While’ to Soundcloud. In that same month, and with a host of sites linking to the track and running intro pieces on the band, they played their debut London show at the Sebright arms.
It was a total sell out and prompted Louder Than War to note that ‘Infallibly perfect bands don’t come around every day’ by way of explanation. Even the Americans seemed to want to be in at the beginning - with MTV Hive declaring ‘This band is pretty awesome’.
A single of the week on The Guardian music podcast and the bold assertion that ‘this is a swaggering, sexy hit waiting to happen’ made sure that, if you missed it, Night Engine were very firmly in the ones to watch category for 2013. Shows at SWN, where according to NME the band ‘provided early thrills’ with a 4pm stage time, and London’s Social increased that feeling.
Now, they’ve returned with a brand new single - which you can check out below. You’ll also find links to buy tickets to a London gig of there’s, which also takes place in February.
