Essex newcomers Bilk have already been crowned the new “sound of the suburbs” with their punchy and angst-driven debut single, ‘Give Up’, and we’re thrilled to be able to share with you the accompanying video.
The 18-year-old trio have put the lyrical poetry of Mike Skinner up against an driving indie rock’n’roll sounds from The Who or The Strokes, and created something spectacular about the pressure put on today’s teenage working class and why “growing up is getting scarier”.
Bilk played a great show at Birthdays on Monday, and should be announcing some more dates shortly. In the meantime, Give Up is out now Legion Records – go buy it.
