Following their signing to Xtra Mile Recordings in 2020 and release of the single ‘Copy’ in January 2021, London trio BERRIES return with a new EP, ‘Live Sessions from Big Smith Studios’ released on 14 May 2021. Pre-save the EP on streaming services here.

Consisting of three tracks recorded for John Kennedy’s Isolation Sessions and one recorded especially for ‘Copy’s virtual single launch, ‘Live Sessions from Big Smith Studios’ is the perfect precursor to even more from the band.

Leading the charge is ‘Dangerous’, a track whose chunky bass and spidery guitar riff progress directly from ‘Copy’. Watch the video below.

“Dangerous was written after travelling home late one night from a gig,” BERRIES explain. “All of the thoughts and feelings of walking the streets alone at night and the different personalities you meet on the way.” Brooding, tinged with paranoia, and not without its own air of danger, this is BERRIES at their darkest to date.

A three piece with a penchant for effortlessly combining off kilter melodies with guttural grunge, BERRIES have been turning heads up and down the country for a number of years. Their array of singles earned the band crucial support from the likes of Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy, as well as online championing from Louder Than War and Fred Perry.

It’s not just offstage that the band have impressed. Working regularly with national promoters DHP, recent notable shows include Cherry Glazerr and Porridge Radio at Electric Brixton, Ex Hex at Village Underground and supporting Frank Turner at a socially distanced acoustic show in Nottingham. And now, BERRIES look set to add to this, with a headline show at The Grace (London) on 12 August 2021, as well as some more shows in the pipeline.

BERRIES are:

Holly – Guitar/Vocals
Lauren - Bass
Lucie – Drums
