Newcastle Indie Rockers - DAYZIES
DAYZIES are an alternative/indie rock band from Newcastle formed in late 2021.
The band comprises Liam Parker on vocals and rhythm guitar, Francis (Frankie) Murray on bass, Patrick Harrison on lead guitar and Jack (Jackie Toon Top) Herron on drums.
In May 2022, DAYZIES attained success with their debut single release of "SHORT LIVED ROMANCE", which received radio play all across the UK on the likes of BBC INTRODUCING as well as multiple international radio plays. To date the single has attained 12k streams on Spotify alone.
The band have organically built up a loyal fan base selling out their own headline shows as well as playing support on gigs to the likes of ANDREW CUSHIN, DEADLETTER, BILK, SHAMBOLICS, THE NATIVE, THE FEENS & ROSELLAS.
Following their initial release, DAYZIES followed this up with their second single ‘I LOVE IT’ which was released in May 2023 and which proved to be a popular release with both radio and press alike further propelling the band forward into a name synonymous with ones to watch on the indie music scene.
Having recently signed to the ever expanding Bubblebrain Records, the band are now gearing up for their second release of the year with ‘Eskimo’.
Liam says of the track:
“The track is about relationships, ‘Eskimo’ is a nickname for an ex-girlfriend who had a parka with this big hood like an eskimo so I would call her my eskimo. Musically, it’s a bit more punk indie than what we’ve released before with lots of heavy guitars!’
The lyrics go: “She said it’s all in my head and I can’t think straight. And she’s making it hard for me to concentrate. My feet are tired, my knees are weak and it’s getting cold, so please stop making me feel so bad, my Eskimo.”
‘Eskimo’ is accompanied by a bonus B-side which is a live recording of fan favourite, the band’s 2021 track ‘Bad’ and it will be exclusively released by Bubblebrain Records.

“Jangly guitars and angled indie riffs. New North East ones to watch for sure” - Gigslutz
“A punked up assault of sound filled with lurking rhythms, crunchy guitars and snarling vocals. It exudes a wild untamable energy and has a chorus that packs some real punch, making the track a super satisfying rock n roll listen - NARC Magazine (I Love It)
“DAYZIES have already accompanied some big up and coming names in the grass roots scene on sold out shows so I reckon the Newcastle rock quartet have already drummed up a bit of noise for themselves. But if they haven’t this track should absolutely do the trick. -RMG magazine (I Love It)
