LIST PICK

THYLA I WAS BITING

Brighton band THYLA are keen to make sure that everyone knows they’re back and biting in their new single via Rex Records. The band are tipped for big things, having made it into Huw Stephens Alternative 2018 Tips and NME’s 100 Essential Acts for 2018, and ‘I Was Biting’ proves exactly why. It’s a heady, furious flurry of guitars and drums with frontwoman Millie Duthie’s vocals soaring high above. “I Was Biting is about dystopian aspects of modern society and a discontent for it. We talk about a unanimous feeling of anxiety and a desire to live in a fictional state of our own dreams; to escape from the mundane routine and expectations of society” – say the band about the new track. If you’re keen to enter THYLA’s parallel universe get yourself a ticket to their UK tour which starts on 14th March at the Seabright Arms in London, and if you miss it then they’re shortly on tour with Fickle Friends, High Tyde and Swimming Tapes. What a line up indeed! -HM
