It was this praise which\u00a0has led him to sharing the stage with the likes of Mark Morriss (The Bluetones), Boz Boorer (known for his songwriting with Morrissey), as well as playing the acoustic stages at UK festivals.\u00a0\u00a0Nick has recently released his second EP, &#8216;Crime For Thought&#8217;,\u00a0the followup to &#8216;Fingerprints&#8217;, released in 2014.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With inspiration coming from the likes of The Charlatans and Babyshambles, Nick has taken his sound from its acoustic roots to a more mature and gritty rock vibe. Accompanied by his\u00a0band (Jack Thorp, Lead Guitar;\u00a0Jamie Cavanagh on Bass; and\u00a0Danny Alton &#8211; Drums) Nick brings a new Brit-pop sound which has received\u00a0much praise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Night Train&#8217; has a real 90s feel about it, with more than a hint of the likes of The Bluetones and much lamented Irish band, The Thrills. It&#8217;s a breath of fresh air in a world of dance and electronic music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nick is set to perform at Glow Worm Festival, alongside multiplatinum band, Toploader, in Nottinghamshire, 20-21 August. See <a href=\"http:\/\/glowormfestival.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> for further details.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find Nick Aslam online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NikAslam\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NickAslam\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEyxWtPdCQRtJzBt44uKZAA\" target=\"_blank\">Youtube<\/a>, and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nickaslam.com\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.
