Infectiously energetic and melodically uplifting alternative indie vibes

Citing The Breeders, Sleater Kinney, Wolf Alice and Biffy Clyro as a handful of the artists amongst their inspirations — ‘Wall of Noise’ arrives as the band gear up for the release of their debut album this Summer. Hinting at what to expect of their forthcoming record.

“‘Our debut record will explore many themes: mental health features heavily, feeling overlooked and sexism, alongside songs about growth, strength and rising above all of the negativity and noise around us. The majority of the songs are based on personal experience”

Having signed to Xtra Mile Recordings in November of 2020, BERRIES are Holly (guitar/vocals), Lauren (bass) and Lucie (drums). Cutting their teeth on the live circuit and with a range of early singles over the past few years and months, the band have gained critical acclaim from Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1), Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X). The band have also garnered praise from the likes of Louder Than War, Fred Perry Subculture and Time Out, with Record Collector Magazine describing their earlier single … as “infectiously energetic, instrumentally taut and melodically uplifting.”

Alongside this early support, the band have also played an assortment of notable live shows including slots alongside Cherry Glazerr and Porridge Radio at Electric Brixton, a headliner at London’s The Grace and gigs in support of Frank Turner in Nottingham and Liverpool.
