Squid, Inhaler and Joy Crookes are on the BBC’s Sound Of… longlist for 2020.

Squid are a part of Live4ever’s Best Of 2019 series after most recently releasing their Town Centre EP, while Inhaler are gaining traction after support tours with the likes of Noel Gallagher and putting out their first single on Polydor Records.

“2020 is shaping up to be such an exciting year for British music. BBC Music is proud to play a role in so many of the incredible musical journeys, from Yungblud’s first session for BBC Music Introducing in West Yorkshire back in 2017, to debut Glastonbury performances from Arlo Parks, Celeste and Easy Life on the BBC Music Introducing Stage earlier this year,” James Stirling, head of BBC Music, has said.

“Congratulations to all the longlisted artists and I am really looking forward to seeing what they have in store for 2020.”
