At the time devoid of fresh blood, Newcastle quickly became alight with buzz around The Pale White upon their formation in 2016. Brothers Adam and Jack Hope, then joined by now former bassist Tom Booth, honed their skills as a ferocious three- piece and quickly settled into a rhythm of their own with a self-titled EP in 2017.
Heads were quickly turning and with ongoing support from Radio 1, Radio X and Triple J, the band’s tunes were playing up and down the country. Highlighted as “one of the North’s hottest groups” by NME and their tunes praised as “filthy, QOTSA-esque stoner rock” by The Independent in a 5-star live review, local hype soon translated into widespread acclaim, huge support slots and impressive festival appearances with the likes on local Geordie rocker and friend Sam Fender.
Following a riotous run of singles produced by Jolyon Thomas (Slaves, Royal Blood), The Pale White released their highly anticipated debut album, ‘Infinite Pleasure’, in 2021. This make-or-break moment only cemented the group’s status with praise from key industry names and even a feature on Amazon Music’s Leicester Square billboard.
After enduring a global pandemic and concluding a career-best run of headline shows, Dave Barrow injected newfound excitement into the line-up as the new bass player. The revitalised outfit introduced the next era properly, with the ‘A New Breed’ EP declaring The Pale White’s rebirth in 2023, followed by supporting alternative rock icons Pixies across their sold out Bossanova / Trompe Le Monde, and European Summer tour in 2024.
With a sustainable approach to rock’n’roll uncovered and a giddy EP under their belts, the group is gearing up for the release of their sophomore album in 2025. “We want to prove that there are many layers to The Pale White and open up new dimensions as a band,” the trio declare. “We want to keep evolving and impressing people with each new project, continue moving forward and put out as much music as possible.”
