An Isle of Wight band are throwing a launch party to celebrate the release of their latest single.

5 Degrees North, a three-piece piece band described as 'alternative', have been writing and performing together for just over a year now.  

Members include 16-year-olds Will Morrison on guitar and vocals, Michael Fuller on bass and backing vocals, and Louis (Linguini) Marshall on drums.

Although relatively new on the scene, 5 Degrees North have already played live at several venues and festivals including Strings, The Attic in Southampton, Warrior Festival and Rhythmtree Festival.

On January 31, they are releasing their new single, Now I Know.

To celebrate, Strings Bar and Venue, Newport is hosting a launch party, in association with Platform One.

Two other local bands, Anatomy and Obscure Colours, will also perform.

Tickets to Strings are only £2 each.

Now I know will be available across all streaming platforms.
