Pressmeddelande -
The Loft - ‘Everything Changes, Everything Stays The Same’ - release 14 mars
The Loft hade en imponerande lista över förstaplatser för Creation Records artister redan i mitten av 80-talet. Första Creation-bandet på TV, först som nådde toppen av indiesingellistan, först att bjudas in på en stor turné i Storbritannien och det första Creation-bandet som spelade in en eftertraktad BBC-radiosession - för Janice Longs Radio One-show 1984. Sedan splittrades de.
Since that infamous onstage tragedy; splitting up mid-song, at the Hammersmith Palais in front of 3,000 people when on the verge of Big Time indie greatness, the band has reunited. Just as their status as one of the UK’s most influential guitar bands of the 80s continues to grow and to influence a host of younger artists, and thirty nine years after that acrimonious split, it seemed the time was right to record their debut album.
Last year, after a sell-out show at London’s MOTH club and their heralded appearance at the Glas-Goes Pop festival, the group was invited by BBC 6 Music’s ‘Riley & Coe’ to record its fourth BBC session, at Maida Vale’s famous Studio 4. Within 6 months the session was rush released by Precious Recordings of London on glorious ten inch vinyl.
Enter Hamburg based, Tapete Records, who, hearing rumours about new Loft material, snapped up the album and signed the band without hearing a single note. The ten song collection ‘Everything Changes, Everything Stays The Same’, is released by Tapete on 14th March, 2025.
The album was recorded in Hackney in August and produced by Dexys’ Sean Read with the original Loft line up of Pete Astor (guitar /vocals) Andy Strickland (guitar), Bill Prince (bass) and Dave Morgan (drums).
