More about: TV Priest

"Here's what you could have won" Charlie Drinkwater growls like a game show host straight out of a Stephen King-penned nightmare. Angry and exasperated, 'Runner Up' sounds a lot like the exhaustion of living in the modern world.
Like any good post-punk band, TV Priest rail against the status quo with the help of a couple of guitars that sound like they number in their hundreds.
Hear it:
"It’s about white goods, Protestant work ethic, Catholic guilt, game shows, not dancing at the Christmas party, four-car garages, meal deals, spam folders, lotteries, carrots and sticks" frontman Drinkwater confirms.
'Runner Up' follows up debut track 'House of York' - an "ultimately chaotic" song "with cuts of fuzzy distortion creating a disorienting yet thrilling listening experience."
