Description

//Lucky Number//

£15.99 – 12″ EP, Limited Edition Blue Coloured Vinyl with Signed Postcard

Drawing comparisons to the Cure and the Maccabees, Priestgate have combined bright guitar-pop hooks with darker lyrical sensibilities, concocting their own angst-laden blend of the hypnotic and euphoric.

Featuring ‘some things never change’, named tune of the week by Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1 (“outstanding, emotive, arena-ready guitar music”) and the new single ‘white shirt’, an anthemic homage to their small hometown of Ddriffield.

Formed as a battle cry against the restlessness and mundanity of rural life, Priestgate began as a reaction to the sparse local music scene around them, which in turn has allowed them to craft and develop their own unique sound without the added pressure of conformity.
