Bringing back the golden age of narrative pop, North Shields’ The Hightowns revive the rich harmonies and storytelling of legends like The Everly Brothers and Paul Heaton. Their debut album, Stories in the Walls, blends wistful lyrics, soaring harmonies, and vibrant instrumentation, capturing small-town life with humor and heart. Since forming in 2023, they’ve quickly gained attention, culminating in a sell-out album launch at The Klurb, a growing hub for local music and fresh talent.
