This Sheffield band who are playing Tramline's Festival have released their debut EP

SHEAFS’ EP ‘Vox Pop’ has been released today on Blood Records. It includes a single called "Thinking Out Loud".

The band are Lawrence Feenstra on vocals, Chris Goodacre on guitar and backing vocals, Charles Mellor on guitar, Callum Wright on bass and backing vocals and Charlie Eastap on drums.

In a new interview with Atwood Magazine, the band explain the meaning behind it: "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".

Produced by Dead Nature/Spring King talent Tarek Musa and Jonathan Hucks, "Vox Pop" was laid down with a short turnaround at Whitewood Recording Studio, Liverpool, before the band headed 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’s latest chart-topping album.

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.

The band will be playing Tramlines Festival on Saturday, August 1. They are also supporting The Slow Readers Club at The Foundry on Tuesday, April 7.
