Our new album ‘Kind of Acoustic’ is available to stream on all platforms! 🎉

In an elbows-out insta-filtered industry, we’ve stayed true to honesty, openness, kindness and collaboration - and it’s paid off. From huge festivals to DIY punk shows, and now this: two unforgettable days, from London’s only Elizabethan church to street busking to a packed-out Garage last Sunday.

Just under two weeks until we hit The Garage in London for the biggest headline show of our lives. We’ve written our favourite ever set including some songs we haven’t played for a very long time. Any guesses what’s on there?

We're collaborating with Clacton and Jaywick activists Clacton Arts Centre to put on a full band LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM show! The aim of Clacton Arts Centre is to raise the cultural profile of the town above Nigel Farage. We're massively proud to be backing this.

The Last Kind of Acoustic shows 🤘 This is the final run of our Kind of Acoustic tour. Four small, intimate gigs, including our rescheduled Edinburgh date. These will be our final shows before The Fractured Party 👀 and the final chance to see these tunes in their full band raw form.

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨 The one and only DJ PressPlay is joining us at The Fractured Party IV at The Garage, London, on May 4th! 🎉 Colchester legend and momentary internet sensation (yes, that viral DJ with the infamous request sign!) will be bringing the energy before and between every set🔥

The child in the photo wouldn't have been able to afford to tour. Most of us spend our teens and twenties living month to month, heart achingly slowly trying to build reserves to pay off credit card bills and put away money for a mortgage, whilst paying rent way more than what a mortgage would cost.

The future of live music depends on this one thing... ✅ Best case: You buy early → promoters gain confidence → are able to pay off the rising cost and offer bigger guarantees for bands → the shows are packed and fun. ❌ Worst case: You wait → tickets don’t sell → shows get cancelled.

Happy One Year to Intermittent Fast Living. This documentary, shot, directed and produced by Ben West documents the recording of the album and celebrates the incredible community who lift this band up. Cheers! 🍻

Happy one year to Intermittent Fast Living 🤘 Our biggest achievement to date, both creatively and as a bottom-up, collective campaign that placed us firmly where we were never invited. Fractured Party People: This one's for you ❤️ Maybe it's time to start demoing album four?

Our next full band show is at The Garage in London on Bank Holiday Sunday 4th May. Our biggest ever London headliner. They’ve told us it's on course to sell out 👀 Can't believe we're saying that. Sonic Boom Six, SHED, Pageant Mum and Generation Feral 🤯🤘

Gutted to share our Edinburgh release show tomorrow is postponed due to severe weather and transport cancellations 😭 As for tomorrow... The party’s not over! Join us and Ben Brown tomorrow at 8pm GMT on YouTube for a livestream album launch.
