​

Good evening to all from the alternative music scene! Tonight, we have a little review for you of the latest single entitled ‘Mexico’, from the phenomenal V.I.P. Suite. Grab a brew and a biscuit and get comfy cause this band really do have it all!

​

Now, we first met these guys back in October of 2020 when they filled in for a band who unfortunately could not make it to the gig at The Bank Top Tavern in Oldham. Since then, these guys have supported Heads Up North and have even dedicated one of their songs to our campaign which will be kicking off later this year. We would like to thank V.I.P. Suite for their continued support and look forward to hopefully seeing them at more gigs in 2024.

​

This four-piece high-energy rock band from the heart of Teesside released ‘Mexico’ on the 12th of January 2024 and I must say it’s one hell of a rock song!

​

At six minutes and twenty-nine seconds in length this piece is sheer rock ballad material. From the offset you find yourself bouncing and bopping about to the beat. I personally couldn’t sit still the second the beat hit my ears. You are instantly hooked and that in itself is a talent that sets V.I.P. Suite apart from other rock bands.

​

A catchy chorus performed by the inspirational Paul Austin adds to the bands flourish - and we all know how much we love a catchy chorus here at Heads Up North Manchester. These really get the audience into a track and V.I.P. Suite have got this element down to a T!

​

My favourite parts of ‘Mexico’, aside from the chorus, have to be the bubbly forty-nine-second-long intro and the musical interlude four minutes and eleven seconds in. The complex but precise riffs put out by Jay Powell really do give this track the spice and spark to become a high flyer in the alternative music scene.

Our co-ordinator and co-founder Nicola Covill stated “I find ‘Mexico’ as catchy as the bands track ‘Human Jungle. V.I.P Suite never disappoint!”

​

I think it’s safe to say that ‘Mexico’ absolutely got our hearts from the start and has earn a permanent place on my personal Spotify playlist. I really can’t wait to see this track performed live. With the passion and energy these guys give off at every performance it’s certain to be an amazing night!
