THE NSO - ‘DO YA’
SINGLE AND VIDEO OUT NOW
The N.S.O. are a four piece Yorkshire band consisting of Josh Tallis on Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Reece Howe on Vocals and Lead Guitar, Jordan Watkin on Percussions and William Simister on Bass Guitar.
The band pride themselves on mixing various influences and genres into their work resulting in a sound that is enticingly fresh and exciting, setting them apart from their counterparts. They combine dark and gritty vocals with light hearted melodies making for a truly exhilarating listening experience.
The N.S.O. formed in 2022 and they released their debut single in the November of the same year; ‘Hurts Instead’. This was followed up in spring 2023 with ‘Up and Down’.
The band’s somewhat unusual name ‘The N.S.O’, we are told doesn’t actually stand for anything and came about when they performed at their debut (sold out) gig when they didn’t actually have a band name at all. The story goes that they saw the letters N.S.O. written on the wall of the venue and for lack of a better name, went with that! The band feel that as things have unfolded however, it makes sense that the name has no direct meaning.. “it means what you want it to mean, just like the music”.
The band have spent their time wisely perfecting their music both in the studio and by gigging extensively including festivals such as Tramlines, Bunkerfest (Supporting Mark Morris), Doncaster Summer Of Love (Supporting Neville Staples), Be Reyt and Barnsley Live festivals and performing a series of gigs with new music taste makers This Feeling selling out their own headline gig at The Philadelphia in Sheffield and gigging with other up and coming acts such as Rosellas and Mimosa.
Having taken their time and not simply rushed out another release, the band have honed and perfected their art and are now ready to unveil to the world their brand new single release of ‘Do Ya’
‘Do Ya’ with its strumming and thrashing guitars and pounding, crashing drum rhythms is perfectly offset with the almost dark and brooding vocals that positively open up in the chorus hook lines with a rousing upbeat melody. Its pure indie rock grittiness personified to perfection!
The band have said of the track:
“‘Do Ya’ is about asking questions in life really; easy questions, hard questions, and questions you already know the answers to, really. It's funny, as the verses I'd had for a while, but I never found a place for them. It wasn't until I revisited an old song Reece had written that I found the chorus. The chorus echoes a sentiment most listeners will understand when your mood is completely opposite to someone else's, so much so that it's almost an annoyance, as you can't grasp how they're okay with everything and you're not. From there, the song fell into place as Josh and Reece worked together on the rest of the structure, and the band finalised the music.”
‘Do Ya’ was written by Josh Tallis and Reece Howe. It was recorded at The Nave Studio in Pudsey, Leeds and was produced By Tom Orrell.
