Releasing August 14th via their own label Bam Bam Records, it will be the bands second album release.

New single ‘Liquid Gold’ is out today and lands with an Abbey Road live session. Eades take the classic indie sound and apply a lazy sleaziness to it; glued together by the songwriting and vocal swapping partnership of Harry Jordan and Tom O’Reilly. 

Tom O’Reilly began the lyrical process during the pandemic. He explains:

“Ahhh lockdown 1… such a trepidatious cocktail of seclusion and hopefulness. Everyone started to nervously ask the big questions: ‘how long will this actually last?’ / ‘when will they reopen the pubs? The beer gardens?’ / ‘Will we be arrested for exercising too long in the park?’.

I suppose it’s no surprise I had a look back at some fond memories of leaving a friends house hungover, making my way though the blinding height of summer, passing friends in a beer garden or a park and joining for a half that became many more than the one half.  

I didn’t realise it at the time, but it was a reflection on longing, I was yearning for simplicity, companionship and a time before uncertainty. It’s a simple song with a simple message; join your mates for that drink in a beer garden, you never quite know when the next pandemic might be.” 

Fight or Flight, the new EP by Eades, is out via their own label Bam Bam Records on August 14th – with the title-track streaming as a single now.
