The next big sound in British indie rock is here: Welly, a band with a knack for capturing the pulse of suburban life, has today released their highly anticipated debut LP, Big In The Suburbs. Brimming with sharp wit and masterful storytelling, the album delivers anthems designed for those stuck between the roundabouts and cul-de-sacs of everyday existence.
The record kicks off with six previous singles already turning heads: Shopping, Soak Up The Culture, Deere John, Cul-De-Sac, Big In The Suburbs, and The Roundabout Racehorse. Add to that the infectious new focus track, It's Not Like This In France, and Welly have cooked up a collection that’s as spirited as their live performances.

Speaking of live shows, the band is set to embark on the Seaside Tour this April, following a string of intimate in-store appearances this month. With their raw energy and undeniable charisma, Welly’s performances at major festivals last summer (Latitude, Leeds, Reading, and Victorious) proved they are more than capable of commanding a crowd. If you missed their National Service tour or their recent support slots with Sports Team, this is your chance to catch them in action.
