TV Priest – Down At The Front https://www.downatthefront.co.uk The place to be to experience new music Tue, 20 Feb 2024 18:56:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 212659681 TV Priest https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/archives/25591 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 18:56:48 +0000 https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/?p=25591 An intimate TV Priest gig at Third Man’s Blue Room previewing some new material. Only the second time I’ve seen them. I don’t know why I haven’t seen them more. Good music and singer Charlie has such a good voice.

But for many of us, this was our first opportunity to hear songs live from their debut album which was released in 2021 and they mixed in songs from their first album.

Their sound clearly revolves around Charlie Drinkwater’s excellent soaring vocals, deep, but with an authority to them. You feel you have to listen to what he is saying. No matter how earnest he gets, his vocals never descend into shouting. A driving post punk baseline backs up the vocals on most songs as guitars head off into dark gothy psych and at times almost industrial walls of guitar wash. It is a glorious sound and this won’t be the last time I catch this band. My only disappointment was that it took me so long to catch them
