ERNIE

About

Part-time chef, full-time singer-songwriter, ERNIE serves up his own brand of heartfelt indie rock, stirring that hazy, nostalgic feeling in with layers of brooding vocals, fuzzy guitars and warbly synths; whilst touching on themes of adolescence, family, relationships and the trappings of being the “odd one out” in a small northern town.

ERNIE – whose real name is Joe Ernest Allan – has spent the last two years in the studio working on a dense collection of songs, and in recent months has been honing his live show, having supported indie darlings Wunderhorse in London, as well as Sam Fender at his iconic hometown St James’ Park (Newcastle) stadium show. 

Produced by Josh Ingledew alongside Thom Lewis (Sam Fender), and mixed by Grammy-nominated producer Catherine Marks (Foals, The Killers, Wolf Alice), ERNIE follows up his debut single ‘Pink Headaches’ with the mesmeric ‘Hold Yr Horses’, out now via Gravity Records.
