The Pill have released ‘The EP’, their debut and it features brand-new track ‘POSH’, first heard on BBC 6 Music earlier this week.
‘The EP’ brings together their recent red-hot run of singles that have put them firmly on the map. ‘The EP’ is their first body of work, and comes just over a year since their joyous and urgent debut single ‘Bale Of Hay’, a track that instantly grabbed the attention of key tastemakers. They quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting new duos in town, with tracks ‘Scaffolding Man’ and ‘Woman Driver’ setting them apart with their chaotic brand of DIY punk, whilst skewering social norms and taking aim at traditional gender roles with their vibrant nad hilarious lyrics. Live they are a sensation, bringing together cool kids and old punks and everything in between.
Lottie and Lily talk about new track ‘POSH’ –
“Written on a night out, about a night out. ‘POSH’ is drawn from the point of view of the messy, bratty, party girl personas we put on for a laugh after a few too many drinks. It’s a wild, stupid, parody of ourselves and our music.”
The band just played to a packed crowd at The Great Escape in Brighton which follows spectacular dates with Big Special and HotWax. They’re currently on tour with Panic Shack before heading back to London on 18th June for their first headline show there at The Grace. Alongside ‘The EP’ they have announced a string of dates across the UK in September
