London’s\u00a0TV Priest\u00a0arrived in the Spring of 2020\u00a0with their debut single, House Of York<\/a><\/em>. They were immediately picking up international\u00a0press attention and seeing support from\u00a0BBC 6 Music, including multiple plays\u00a0from Steve Lamacq and the mercurial Dan Carey on his\u00a0Recommends show.

Their second single, Runner Up<\/a><\/em>, and then a third in This Island<\/a><\/em>, followed soon after and saw the band go straight onto the 6 Music playlist.

Last month they announced their debut album \u2018Uppers\u2019 (out\u00a0November 13th via Hand In Hive) and were confident enough in the rest of their songs to\u00a0leave their first two singles off the track listing. The\u00a0buzz was significant, with the first run of limited vinyl through Recordstore selling out in just over 24 hours.

All of this for a band who have played only the one show, ever.

All TV Priest’s artwork is designed by their own front man Charlie Drinkwatwer, a visual artist also responsible for the recent cover artwork for Fontaines D.C. among others, and their music is\u00a0self-produced by the band’s own Nic Smith and is tantamount to the dual power of both their\u00a0in-house\u00a0DIY\u00a0ethic and immediate, incendiary songs. Their third single, This Island<\/em>, debuted last month as Jack Saunders’ “Next Wave” on Radio 1 and was the first to be taken from the album – it saw them not only pick up further UK support at press and radio but also start to break into international support, where the likes of KEXP, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan and more played and wrote about the band for the first time.

The band now shared their new single and video for the track Slideshow<\/em>. It is a further satire on the here and now and our near universal habit of staring at our screens\u00a0all day, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling…\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
