About: The Pale White
Formed of brother duo Adam and Jack Hope, Newcastle alt rockers The Pale White headed into 2026 on the back of the success of their sophomore record The Big Sad. Not ones to rest on their laurels, the duo returned at the start of this year to announce details of their third album, Inanimate Objects of the 21st Century.
Released on March 27 via End of the Wall Recordings, the band’s latest album sees them return louder, sharper, and more defiant than ever. It’s their most expansive yet: a record that blends the anthemic punch of classic rock with the urgency and edge of modern alternative. You can listen to the latest single, ‘Float Away’ on Geordie Beats – our unofficial Newcastle United fan playlist.
How did you come to support your club and what are your favourite memories from your time as a fan?
Adam: Wallsend born and bred! Favourite memory has to be watching Shearer knock in his record-breaking goal against Portsmouth. St James’ erupted!
Who have been your favourite five players for the club?
Adam: Shearer for obvious reasons… I think Bruno Guimarães has cemented himself as a toon legend in recent times too. I’m going to throw Lewis Hall in there for sheer recency bias as he has single-handedly blown my mind this season. Then honourable mentions to Gazza & Peter Beardsley.
What are your thoughts on how the 2025/26 season has gone for your club?
Adam: There’s been numerous situations that have been detrimental to the season we could have hoped for. Losing our star player in Isak and the negative situation that surrounded all of that had a big impact, and late signings with Woltemade and Wissa, who have both struggled to find their feet with Nick being played out of position most of the season and Yoane starting with an injury.
The squad has been plagued with injuries losing important players like Bruno, Livramento, Miley, Schar, Burn… the list goes on and all at crucial points. All that being said, if we can still find a place in Europe I’ll be reasonably happy. On a more positive note, Osula’s goal vs Manchester United was one for the history books.
What’s going on for you as an artist at the moment?
Adam: It’s an important time for this band! We released two albums in the space of a year – The Big Sad & Inanimate Objects of the 21st Century – which are both sonically different to each other. Very proud to have been able to give the fans so much in a short period of time.
Currently touring the UK, then off to Shanghai, Milan and some Netherlands dates with everyone’s favourite rock band – Pixies. It’s an honour to share the stage with them!
