Punk Rock, LP kiadvány, 2026-os album.
Formed in 2019, Tired of Fighting were born when Nic Wood (vocals and guitar), who was well known in the local area for his huge, booming vocal delivery, was hounded by George Sharpe (Bass) to form a band and put some „oomph” behind the voice rather than just his signature acoustic guitar. A drummer was brought in and Tired of Fighting was formed.
The band went on to establish themselves as one of the most popular unsigned bands in the northeast of England, supporting national touring bands such as Mallory Knox along the way. When drummer Kev Nolan came on board, the band were soon ready to take their signature sound further afield, and with the help of management from Metathetic Music, were planning shows across the UK. The band went on to tour the UK and release several singles which showcased their energy and passion.
„Tired Of Fighting are a trio made up of Kevin Nolan, George Sharpe, and Nic Wood. Their setup is simple – drums, bass and guitar, with Wood acting as singer/songwriter. Their songs reflect this. They are neither showy nor trendy. They mostly take the form of strummed chords over a solid backbeat, making the songs simple and understated. You can hear the crackle of pop punk somewhere in their songwriting lineage but the actual sound is closer to a singer/songwriter-led band like Travis. In this case, Nic Wood’s songs are what makes the record. He keeps the tone upbeat but downcast, presenting insecurity in a way that is catchy without being obvious. It is quite the skill, and he employs it throughout the album. Every song has a gentle, likeable hook and a workable character.” – Punktastic
„If listening to the album conjures one thing, it’s sadness. It’s not theatrical sadness though, rather the sadness of a quiet venue after the band leaves the stage. The sadness of heading out for a treat and the shop being closed. The sadness of low-quality jam on toast. Low-level, honest, beautiful sadness. Everyone is so busy gawping at the Turner Prize they forget how hard it is to paint a portrait. ‘And Then Suddenly It Hits You’ is a solidly crafted, quality piece of work. It’s unlikely to be your favourite record; it might not be the best record you’ve heard this week. But if you’re looking for a simple, unobtrusive ode to everyday sadness, ‘And Then Suddenly It Hits You’ comes highly recommended.” – Punktastic
