Bands: Envy & Other Sins

Heading up our second stage will be Envy & Other Sins, purveyors of eccentric, erudite, English pop music. Forged in the furnaces of Birmingham, the four-piece has toured in support of Ok Go! and has played with everyone from Razorlight to The Feeling, The Automatic and Hard-Fi among many others.

New single “Man Bites God” follows the release of their debut, limited edition single, “Prodigal Son” (which was released through Loog Records.)

“Like Syd Barrett fronting Queen” – Sam Endicott (The Bravery) writing in The Guardian

“They are the devil’s Britpop. Somehow lacing their plinky synths, ‘Parklife’-ish harmonies and soulful heartbeat with the stalking atmospherics of a whore slaughter in 19th-century Whitechapel, they’re the evil poltergeist that a flat-lining Ambershades brought back from the Other Side; they’re Jack The Rip-pop.”
Mark Beaumont – NME

“Cheeky, catchy, Dexys-meets-Talking Heads huge, stomping, rock ‘n’ roll.” – The Fly

“Catchy in the extreme, with sweet harmonies, wicked hooks and choruses a-go-go”
Radar – NME

“Flanked by images of debauched splendour and flagon-gulping naughtiness, this group of marauding dandies sound like an episode of Blackadder III directed by Freddie Mercury, produced by Jellyfish and edited by Matt Bellamy.”
Ross Bennet – NME

Envy & Other Sins are: Ali Forbes (singing and guitar), Mark Lees (bass and singing), Jim Macaulay (drumming) and Jarvey Moss (keyboards and singing).
