Sheffield’s SHEAFS have released their debut EP\u00a0\u2018Vox Pop\u2019 via Blood Records. You can listen to \u2018Vox Pop\u2019 here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band previously shared final taster\u00a0Thinking Out Loud<\/em><\/a>, which in an interview with Atwood Magazine, they said “The idea was to capture the array of disorganised thoughts that often fill our heads throughout the day. The contrast of associating laundry and bigger world issues was one that we found interesting”.<\/em>

The band also shared the\u00a0blistering single,\u00a0Total Vanity<\/em><\/a>, which they\u00a0described\u00a0as being,\u00a0“predominantly about our fascination and consumption in relation to self-image, and acknowledging the strain of that.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Dead Nature\/Spring King talent Tarek Musa and\u00a0Jonathan Hucks, \u2018Vox Pop\u2019 was laid down with a short turnaround at Whitewood Recording Studio, Liverpool, before the band headed down south to Essex to finish the EP off. The tracks were then finalised and mastered by the acclaimed Mike Cave (who recently mixed and mastered Lewis Capaldi\u2019s latest chart-topping album).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the EP the band match lyrics confronting the frustrations of a consumerist world that profits from people’s low self-esteem and self-doubt, with the everlasting blistering energy of pounding riffs, and the fire found in the stomachs of the passionate youth up and down the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First single\u00a0Care Less<\/em><\/a>\u00a0made the band favourites of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and saw them team up with\u00a0director and videographer Sam Crowston (The Blinders\/No Hot Ashes), to produce a humorous\u00a0video, as-filmed at Sheffield Hallam University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More about SHEAFS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of demos and raucous live shows saw the band earn a dedicated local fanbase, in 2019 SHEAFS took their sound out across the nation. The band toured the UK, won over festivals crowds at Dot2Dot, Tramlines, and won a slot at Madrid’s Mad Cool Fest after coming first in the ‘UK Talent’ section out of thousands of entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their rise has been propelled by consistent support across major national radio stations including the afore mentioned BBC Radio 1, as well as at BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio, Radio X and Virgin Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a stint of high profile support slots with the likes of The Amazons, The Coral, and IDLES, plus their recent tour with US rockers Greta Van Fleet which saw them win over audiences all over Europe, the band will release their highly anticipated debut EP “Vox Pop” on March 6th via Blood Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
