Originally from France, the 4-piece Bantam Lyons are releasing a new EP ‘Oh Cordélia’ on May 14th through Kshantu Records, as well as performing at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton on May 20th. Established and revered in their home country, the Gallic 4-piece have already been turning heads on UK shores with a series of acclaimed performances, bringing the band attention from the likes of Mojo Magazine, as well as winning them an invite to perform at this year’s Great Escape Festival in Brighton this May. The band have released their first track from the EP ‘When Lips Turn Purple’ to give us a taste of what we can look forward to.
‘When Lips Turn Purple’ is a darkly stained eerie Gothic-tinged track that packs a fiery punch. Chilling with spooky tones driven by stirring piercing guitar and rapid fierce relentlessly brutal drumming. With emotional agonising vocals this track is a stabbing acute shrilling blow to the head. Bitter and earsplitting-ly powerful Bantam Lyons penetrate your skull with a blistering inferno so eerie and thrilling its hair- raisingly good. A must listen.
