TV Priest by Dan Kendall
The Great Escape has also confirmed Merck Mercuriadis, Nadia Khan and Wendy Ong as some of its guest speakers.
Chubby And The Gang, Yard Act and TV Priest will be a part of The Great Escape‘s first ever online edition later this year.
Seven channels presenting specially curated showcases and country-specific specials are to be on offer between May 13th-14th to those who register, as what is normally one of the UK’s biggest music showcases goes digital, hopefully just for this year.
Chubby And The Gang and Yard Act were both part of Live4ever’s 2020 Best Of retrospective, while TV Priest have one of our highest rated albums of this year so far with Uppers:
“Having taken one step back, TV Priest take two forward with closer Saintless, which burns slowly over its seven minutes but never wastes a second as Drinkwater recalls his wife’s experiences of childbirth and the surrounding trauma. Less claustrophobic than much else on the record, it’s a good sign that the band have aspirations higher than the pigeon-hole of post-punk.”
“To say more would spoil the experience of listening to the record, specifically Drinkwater’s lyrics which are more relatable as lyrics rather than prose.”
