Video: The Assist – ‘The Assist’

03/10/2014 by Tom Roden

We’ve already done a review of the track, but now there’s a video too! The Assist’s latest track is full of hectic guitar work and pick-yourself-up lyricism, with the air of a social sting that seems to be passed down through generations of great british songwriters. The video for the track captures the band performing to an audience in a dilapidated area, capturing the natural magic and beauty of the music in the midst of industrial chaos. Okay, so that’s […]

13/09/2014 by Tom Roden

It’s that moment you’ve all been (secretly) waiting for: the first Fresh Beats Show of 2014 is finally here and live for your aural pleasure!

The Assist – ‘The Assist’ Review

11/09/2014 by Tom Roden

It’s a very unusual thing for a band to name a single after itself. EPs and albums, sure, it’s commonplace – but never usually singles. And that’s just the first thing that stands out about The Assist’s newest single. It’s a move that oozes with self-confidence and boastful self-belief – you know, all that stuff that people will despise bands for unless they can really knock out some top-quality tunes. Luckily, and perhaps annoyingly for some who would love to […]

The Assist – ‘Speak It Aloud’ EP Review

18/03/2014 by Tom Roden

It’s very rare that an unsigned band will capture attention as quickly as Walsall-based band The Assist have done. Going from strength to strength to strength in little over a year, the band have supported members of The Jam and have performed across the country. And on the back of favourable reviews and two popular and well-received soundcloud tracks, the band have just released their debut EP ‘Speak It Aloud’. Managing to capture the excitement and energy of the band’s […]

Bandstand with Ryan Stanton (The Assist)

20/10/2013 by Tom Roden

Welcome to the first ever Bandstand post on Fresh Beats! Bandstand is very much a ‘musician 101’, where we put on special features and interview musicians (both established and newcomers) to create a database of sorts: a how-to of all things music, from composition to performing to recording. This week we’ve spoken to Ryan Stanton, guitarist of indie-rock outfit The Assist, about all things guitar – from makes to effects and writing riffs. What make of guitar and amp do […]

The Assist Interview

12/10/2013 by Tom Roden

The Assist are a four-piece indie band from the West Midlands that have, recently, gathered a lot of attention and have begun to develop a strong local following. Following the success of their most recent track, ‘Control’, we couldn’t resist speaking to the lads to find out a bit about them and where they plan to go from here. Ladies and gentlemen, this is The Assist… Could you give us a bit of back story about the band? How did […]

The Assist – Control Review

04/10/2013 by Tom Roden

The newest track by West Midlands outfit The Assist shows the tremendous amount of talent that the band have and is one that you should definitely look out for. ‘Control’ demonstrates everything that makes The Assist a band that you should keep on your radar. This track is driven predominately by a powerful bass groove that will inspire you to move, while the guitar and drum sections are perfectly composed to provide little more than a complete sound. This is […]
