"Haigh will rock you!"

A WIGAN band has paid a proud tribute to their roots by making one of their hometown’s most popular beauty spots the star of their first music video.

Indie rockers Inside View, made up of lead vocalist and guitarist Ant O’Brien, guitarist and backing vocalist Danny Heaton, bassist Johnny Waring and drummer Sean Murphy filmed much of their video for new single Heart On Fire at Haigh Hall.

The famous 19th century hall and sweeping grounds of the country park provided the backdrop to the performances of the band and actors, which accompany the strains of Inside View’s first single from their recently-released debut album, Let Go.

The four-minute video, which also stars friend of the band Lauren Tregay in the role of the leading female character, explores concepts of letting go and moving on, with a final scene shot on the beach at Ainsdale, near Southport.

The four-minute sequence was put together for the group by director Chris Croft and can now be viewed by music fans around the globe after being put on YouTube.

Guitarist Danny, 24, said: “We had just finished recording the album and thought the next logical step was to do a video. We’ve always been quite proud of coming from Wigan and our heritage, so it’s nice to film here and then say to people that this is where we’re from. It was quite a long day of filming, we started at 9am and finished at 10.30pm, but it wasn’t too bad for us because we had breaks in between our parts. It was Chris who had most of the work to do as he was filming everything.

“We’re now going to get it on our Facebook page and website to try and get it out there. People seem to like watching videos rather than just listening to music.”

Danny now hopes there will be more singles to follow Heart On Fire taken from Let Go, which represents nearly a year of work writing, rehearsing and recording by the band.

The album has a slightly darker, more rock-influenced edge from Inside View’s previous work, and is available from online outlets including iTunes and CD Baby.

Danny said: “We all have our own individual favourite songs at the moment. Heart On Fire stands out for a lot of people, which is why we picked it for the first single.

“There’s also a song called Ghosts Or Bones which is darker than anything we’ve previously done. We meant it as an album track but it seems to be a lot of people’s favourites.”

"THE INSIDE VIEW REVIEW"

Young,Fresh,Immenseley Talented and unsigned.Spot the mistake readers,the 'Inside View' will not be unsigned for too much longer.From what my ears,my heart and mind are telling me this is a Band heading for Great things.

The beauty of this Music is,that there are so many twists and turns to its production you cannot fail to want to listen to more and more and more of what the Band are giving.Somehow you feel you are on a Roller Coaster ride with them and enjoying every single second of it.One thing is for sure,you wont sit still once the Music starts.

So OK,lets really get on the Inside and see what the 'Inside View' is.

Songs like 'New York' and 'Picture Perfect' have a real Americana feel about them, almost like a British Version of the Counting Crows.Strong Melodic Mid tempo verses build up to glorious harmonies within the chorus lines constantly feeling like a breath of fresh air has just filled your lungs.The song 'Betrayed' has a more Edgy feel to it,darker rythm section and more off beats, but then finds itself in a swooning chorus line which is obviously a signature move of this Band.That said,it is a sure way to captivate the audience with chorus,s and beautifully crafted harmonies.'Carnt see Why',follows the pattern of 'Betrayed'.What would be good is a stripped down version of a song,just a guitar ,maybe some percussion and then really let this singers voice fly.That is no criticism of the Band as the Music and vocals fit together perfectly,its just an idea I had.

This band is immensley talented.Personally I rate their music very very highly.Anyone out their in their right mind will take this Band under their wing,take care off them and help them achieve what is rightfully theirs.

I Adore this mans very meaningful voice.My favourite track,well this is a difficult one because there is so much Good stuff here but I reckon 'Picture Perfect'.I have a feeling this Bands Music would do well in the U.S.I really have a gut feeling on that.

Good Music must have Longevity.For me this Band have pulled it off.This is the sort of Music you will buy and keep somewhere near the top of you collection in order that you can get your hands on it quickly,get it on your player and Indulge yourself.


There is no question that I WOULD buy this Music,Please note that this Band has just entered The Very Significant Top 100 Chart.

I urge you to visit their site and listen to their music,not just one track,but several in order to discover the variation and depth of Music these guys are able to write and perform so brilliantly well. www.myspace.com/InsideView

I wish them all the success,they truly deserve it.

"Release Review - Picture Perfect EP"

With the able hand of Wigan’s John Kettle this quartet specialise in jangling, almost falsetto pop. It’s the kind of sunny song that’s coloured by broken hearts and sorrowful melodies. “Picture Perfect” sparkles and drowns in harmonies but I’m not sure what possessed them to make it nearly 5 minutes long. The initial chord phrase harks back to late 90’s indie; “New York” however, is a beautiful mixture of sixties ambience and considered hooklines – fittingly as perhaps the best track, it’s also the shortest. “Betrayed” is another well defined exercise in dreamy indie guitar music, but Inside View save the most upbeat outing until last with the bustling chords of “Can’t See Why”, that seem to offer a combination of Don Henley and dreamy West Coast guitars. It all points to some great potential; the performances are tight , but by targeting the power pop audience they need to actually come up with a killer tune to make them stand well above the rest.

"MUSIC SCENE: Festival offers Inside View"

Wigan rockers Inside View are hoping that the sun will be shining this weekend for their performance at the annual WOW Festival.

The talented four-piece will be joining Tiredness Kills and Love On Hold at Sunday's event, which will feature dance, music, theatre and arts from the borough and across the globe.

Thousands are expected to turn out for the festival at Mesnes Park, which Inside View guitarist Danny Heaton is eagerly anticipating.

The 20-year-old, from Ashton-in-Makerfield, said: "Last year around 9,000 people turned up, so it would be amazing to play for a crowd of that size.

"Chris Wyatt, from Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, had listened to some of our tracks and asked us if we were interested in playing at this year's event.

"We jumped at the chance as we thought it would make a change from playing the usual indoor venues."

Inside View, who formed only last September, have made a big impact on the local music scene.

Their gigs across the borough, and the North West, have received rave reviews.

The same goes for EP Picture Perfect, which was recorded with Wigan music mogul John Kettle.

John will be working with the band once again in October when they record another EP which is as yet untitled.

Danny said: "We always enjoy recording with John as he's a great guy and great producer.

"We've written around 20 songs and are currently discussing which ones will make it onto the EP.

"We have a new song called Judas, which we will be playing live for the first time at the WOW Festival.

"The set is going to be made up of old and new tracks – it's a great chance for us to showcase our music for a big crowd."

The band, whose influences range from the cream of Britpop to the heaviest of metal acts, are full of praise for the music scene in Wigan at the moment.

"There are a lot of really good acts coming up in the borough at the moment," said Danny.

"For us, things are continuing to go from strength to strength and we hope to take the band as far as we can." - Adnan Aljilani - Wigan Observer

"Inside View - Underneath the Stars"

'Underneath The Stars' is the 2nd E.P from Wigan indie-popsters Inside View; a strong, four track work that owes much of it's pleasantries to some really impressive and mature songwriting. What this EP might lack in raw power and fiery brutality it more than makes up for in artistic impression and structural integrity.



So, with great songs up their collective sleeves, Inside View deliver their indie goods with great proficiency and individualisic/collective prowess to make this E.P a pretty commerically viable offering. Inside View appear to be very-much a no fuss outfit; there are no showy over-long solos, there doesnt appear to be an ego in sight, they simply get out there and get down to the job in hand. And, dutiful but creative work ethic combined with it's 'grown-up' compositional skills, although perhaps not typical of the indie scene, is certainly one to be applauded.



Inside View is a band blessed with vocal talent in abundance and the harmonies displayed here are quite stunning; all four sing so i guess there's anything upto and including four-part harmonies in the mixes which results in a lovely light and bright feel. Behind all the voices everything's kept simple but nicely 'pointed'; guitars provide a jangly and rhythmic boost to the succinct but business-like bass and drums, wel proportioned, well layered and right on-the-money.

'Underneath the Stars' by Inside View is a worker, a slow grower; it tends to take at least two or three plays to really pick up on what the guys are doing here but once you start to see the 'bigger picture' the whole thing unfolds quite beautifully. 'Underneath the Stars by Inside View is different in so much as it's not really that forceful, rather it's somewhat mellowed out and needs to be given time and space before it fully blossoms - like the old-masters of the art world where you have to stand back to really get the beauty of the 'piece', 'Underneath the Stars' by Inside View is a really tidy and commercial offering but it may take time for people to work it all out and start to 'feel' it's magic. - Pete - Toxic Pete's Music Reviews

"Reviewed: Inside View – Underneath the Stars (EP)"

ailing from Wigan in the UK, Inside View are a band that are not afraid to be a little different. Their second EP ‘Underneath the Stars’ mixes indie rock with tunes that are unabashedly poppy to create a work that is varied, emotive and very memorable.

The whole EP is heavily laden with rich, close vocal harmonies, simple yet solid guitar work, varied, textured songs and has an emotional side that they’re not ashamed to show. ‘Underneath the Stars’ takes you from rock, to happy dancy pop, through a love song that’s just the right side of cheesy and ends on an heartfelt yet upbeat tune with a chorus that will stay in your head for hours.

From within a scene of serious indie rockers, Inside View are going against the grain and are making music that’s a bit emotional, a bit soulful and quite a bit poppy, but they balance it out with great song-craft, catchy hooks and some good solid rock. It’s refreshing, different, admirable and so damn catchy that you’ll have no choice but to like it! - Sarah C Morrison - Miss Morrison's Mix

"MUSIC SCENE: Festival View was stunning"

Wigan's Inside View are on a high after putting in a stunning performance at one of the region's biggest music festivals.

The band stormed the stage at this year's Whatfest Festival, which was held last weekend on the rolling fields of Riverside Organic Farm, near Northwich, Cheshire.

Guitarist Danny Heaton said: "It was brilliant to play there, although it was a bit muddy.

"It was one of the biggest shows that we have played so far.

"We played at Sherdley Park for the St Helens Festival a few weeks ago too, which was also a lot of fun."

In January the band were contacted by elev8artists management who expressed an interest in managing them.

And after successful negotiations the lads were signed to a multi-year contract and went on to appear on the BBC as well as on local radio.



They also played as support on some high profile shows, including one with The Coronas at The Ruby Lounge.

If that wasn't enough they also now have a following in the US.

After featuring on radio stations out there they were contacted by music placement agency Talent & Terms and have been signed to a deal for their music to appear on TV shows.

Danny said: "Having our music played on US radio feels pretty weird.

"We take the time to listen to podcasts and hear what people are saying about our songs."

Inside View have recently been working on three new songs called Dumb, One More Try and The Lie Is In Her Name.

According to Danny, fans can expect plenty of vocal harmonies, anthemic choruses and guitar melodies in the new tracks.

Danny said: "Rather than change our sound completely we see our new stuff as more of a progression in sound.

"Right now we're focusing on just plugging away and seeing how we can take things even further." - Adnan Aljilani - Wigan Observer

"Inside View, Let Go. Album Review"

L.S. Media Rating ****

There is something rather deliciously and creatively cool about Inside View’s full debut album Let Go. After a few years of releasing the obligatory e.p’s it was perhaps time that the band consisting of Anthony O’Brien on vocals and guitar, Danny Heaton on guitar and vocals, Johnny Waring on bass and vocals and Sean Murphy on drums, released an album to an awaiting world and the result is a record of some magnificence and beauty.

Although Anthony and Danny have been scribbling away and playing since the very start, the addition of John Waring and Sean Murphy in last year have given the band a balance that gives the music a gentle almost artisan feel which reminds the listener of a softer, more humane feel to the music. The vocal style that Anthony O’Brien provides for songs such as Picture Perfect, Heaven and Hell and This Is Not The End Of The World captures the imagination fully. It gives the listener the image of the late 60’s and early 70’s Californian style but with none of the pretentiousness and excess baggage that can be associated with that era and almost tarnished beyond redemption with.

The best way to describe Let Go and the band themselves is part rock, part ethereal manliness. Poetic licence but with a firm unmistakable grasp on what it is shake their audience and their preconceptions but with the idealism still unshakeable. The music doesn’t need a degree to understand but the band and therefore the album are just worthy of listening to quietly and with smile on your face.

Let Go won’t be lauded or awarded the best debut album by London-centric and “look” obsessed journalists but it certainly has all the hallmarks and subtle quality that makes music a passion and just simply a joy to listen to.

Bio

The Inside View

The band 'Inside View' first formed in mid-2007, when talented singer-songwriter Anthony O'Brien, 29, met budding young guitarist Danny Heaton, 26 where the pair bonded over a mutual love of music. The final line up was later found when Sean Murphy, 23, became the bands permanent drummer and Will Potts, 19, joined on bass.


After several months of heavy rehearsals, the band headed straight into the recording studio to record 'Picture Perfect', their debut 4-track E.P. In September, Inside View finally stepped out of the shadows, showcasing songs built around breathtaking vocal harmonies, anthemic choruses and outstanding guitar melodies. 


Following rave reviews, the band went on tour, clocking up an impressive 40-plus performances in little over six months. While still working the day jobs and playing gigs at night, new material was always being produced, and in December 2008 the group reunited with John Kettle to record their follow up E.P., 'Underneath the Stars', which also gained favourable reviews. 


In 2009 the band reconvened with John Kettle once again to work on a third E.P., but these sessions were ultimately scrapped and they decided to take some time out.


2010 was a quiet year for Inside View, however in June they played the biggest show of their career at the Haigh Hall Music Festival, in front of a crowd averaging around 5,000 people.


In 2011, Ant and Danny embarked on a short acoustic tour of California, whilst also making a road trip to Nevada to perform a one off gig in Las Vegas. This was the first time the band had performed outside of the UK, and the experience reignited their desire to make music. 


At the end of the year, the band headed into the studio with producers Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy of Sugar House Music to begin work on their debut album. The new production team brought a fresh sound to the group, which can easily be heard on debut single 'Heart on Fire'. The band debuted this song, alongside other new material, when they performed their first gig for over two years at the successful Diamond Jubilee Festival in June 2012.

 

The album 'Let Go' was released in July 2012 to a positive response, and the group put on a free gig for all their fans to celebrate the launch.

Inside View have since gone on to support James Walsh of Starsailor, and play a large number of shows including performances at the DW Stadium and Reebok Stadium. The band are now back in the studio recording their follow up album which is due to be released in 2014.

In September 2012 the band released a music video for the debut single 'Heart On Fire' from the debut album 'Let Go', the video can be viewed on the band website at www.insideviewmusic.com or at the following youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMs8EwCI4C4&feature=g-all-c
