The Pale White - The Big Sad

This is the northeast calling, with songs of stillness, reflection, renewal, defiance, hope, classic melodies and, at certain perfectly
judged moments, furniture-shifting riffs. With a powerful album shaped by pandemic-era loss (of momentum, and of a band member),
and by the wins brought by what singer/songwriter/guitarist Adam Hope describes as a “weight lifted off my shoulders”. With a fresh,
front-footed, fired-up approach that owes everything to a band returning to their roots in Wallsend and Newcastle – and, for the first
time, making their music entirely on their own independent terms: self-produced and self-confident. “The Big Sad: an album born from
the ashes of dark times but representing a beacon of light for the future. An album of honesty and purity, one that our current fanbase

sonically may not be expecting. The sound of a band that got tired of slamming on the fuzz pedal to tick the ‘rock’ box and dares to try
something new, dares to shock, dares to be great.”
