In this instance they weren\u2019t left unsaid, so expression through song was obligatory &#8211; I thought the use of dirty in 3 different languages was good for emphasis&#8230; The music was written during the small hours in the basement of Pop Recs Ltd, Sunderland and the words shortly before an Uber trip to a soul night in Leeds.\u201d<\/em><br><br>The last year has seen Roxy Girls light up their homeland with the release of their critically acclaimed debut mini-album \u2018A Poverty Of Attention\u2019, which earned plaudits from the likes of\u00a0BBC 6 Music (inc. sessions for Marc Riley &amp; Tom Robinson), BBC Radio 1, NME, DIY, Clash, Gigwise, So Young, tmrw, Paste, Radio X<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and more. Similarly, late-2019 saw the band play a number of shows across the UK earning a reputation for their angular and intoxicating live performances supporting the likes of\u00a0The Murder Capital, Drahla, Du Blonde, Flamingods, The Rhythm Method, Crocodiles, Mush, Duds\u00a0and\u00a0Thee MVPS, as well as playing\u00a0DIY\u2019s Hello 2020\u00a0showcase at the turn of the year.<br><br>\u2018A Wealth Of Information\u2019 sees Roxy Girls expand on their unique and idiosyncratic take on the post-punk format. Whilst the band still conveys the same breathless intensity and intricacy in their instrumentation, the new material also finds them developing on their stripped-back sound and experimenting with warmer and more densely structured dynamics. Whereas \u2018A Poverty Of Attention\u2019 introduced Roxy Girls high-energy and mordacious lyrical humour to the world, \u2018A Wealth Of Information\u2019 exemplifies a more considered insight to the band. Whilst the musicianship is still largely rooted in hook-driven indie-rock territory, the new EP shows a very natural evolution of a sound that has become completely their own.<br><br>Speaking about the new EP, Tom Hawick (frontman) says,\u00a0<em>\u201cA progression in musicianship and technicality, A Wealth Of Information takes A Poverty Of Attention and flips it on its head. Focusing on the tropes of 21st century living and the mundanity that comes with it, these songs focus on themes that have, in one way or another, affected each mortal modern human life.\u201d<\/em><br><br>With the announcement of the new EP and the band hoping to play further shows later this year, Roxy Girls show no signs of slowing as they continue on their rapid upwards trajectory. For the long-term fans this EP is a clear display of bands thirst to adapt and transform, and for those who are hearing them for the first time, there could be no better moment to find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i2.cmail19.com\/ei\/j\/6C\/F81\/C11\/231222\/csfinal\/450x450bb-9900000000079e3c.jpg?resize=592%2C592\" alt=\"Roxy Girls A Wealth of Information EP cover artwork\" width=\"592\" height=\"592\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018A Wealth Of Information\u2019<\/strong> <strong>track list<\/strong><br><br>1.
