This week, we're very excited to welcome the fantastic Charlie Drinkwater, who is the vocalist of post-punk outfit TV Priest to the show. Currently signed to the infamous Sub-Pop label, and about to release their hard-hitting debut full-length Uppers, TV Priest have primed themselves as not only one of Britain’s most exciting up-and-coming bands, but also one of Britain’s most vital. The album is both deeply personal and defiantly political, acting almost as both a diary to the band’s thoughts as much as a socio-political commentary of the world around us. Inspired as much by literature as they are the events currently unfolding in our lives, the band take their cues from legends like The Fall and post-punk revivalists Protomartyr. The sound is very much a result of a collective need to create together again, having been in and out of bands as a foursome since they were in their teens. As you’ll discover through this chat, there’s something profoundly heartwarming about this band who are at times quite dystopic in their lyrics. We'd like to firstly thank Charlie for taking time out of his day to have a chat, and to Amy at Prescription PR for setting this up. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting to Charlie.
