Having played on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury Festival in 2019 between several tours of Europe and Asia, Eyre Llew are on a brief hold from the touring scene whilst they get stuck into writing and recording album two. Described as atmospheric ambient rock, the trio from Nottingham, UK have been getting out there in front of audiences, touring worldwide since their sold-out debut show in May 2015. Having formed in August 2014 they embarked upon a series of stunning live shows which have seen them gather momentum and an ever-increasing organic number of devoted fans. In the first two years of the band's existence, they released nine singles in digital format before recording, producing and self-releasing their critically acclaimed debut album Atelo (2017) and a Korean split EP Carrier (2019). They independently launched Atelo on Thursday 19th October 2017 with a sell-out show at the 550 capacity Glee Club, Nottingham (pictured). Their hometown’s city council called them "One of Nottingham's most exciting prospects in years” two days after the show they went out touring around Europe for a month-long tour across 14 countries with a UK fanbase back home buzzing with support behind them. After a show in Estonia, they were told that their DIY released debut album reached #24 in Drowned in Sound's Top 100 albums of 2017 amongst artists like Wolf Alice, Idles & St Vincent. Countless reviews came in from other internationally respected music outlets like; Kerrang!, BBC Introducing, Louder Than War, God is in the TV Zine, Fred Perry, Getintothis, GoldFlakePaint among others with Gigwise saying they are "Arguably one of the most exciting bands in the UK right now." The start of 2018 kickstarted Eyre Llew with nominations and shortlists for three Unsigned Music Awards at The Great Escape Festival in Best Rock Act, Best Record, and Best Music Video. Twelve Showcase Festivals nominated the 100 most promising artists in Europe as INES#talent 2019 and they have been selected as so every year since. Eyre Llew have been selected with extra support from Gigmit and Liverpool Sound City to be a part of the Innovation Network of European Showcases throughout 2019 - pushing and focusing their international footprint out of their home country - leading them to more festival appearances in the UK and South Korea. By the end of 2019, they had performed across 25+ countries, completing several tours around the UK, Europe, and Asia since selling out their first-ever show back in 2015. Returning from their second Asia tour over the Autumn of 2018 they carried on to work at new material between shows. The trio road-tested some during their sold-out UK tour through April 2019 releasing their split EP 'Carrier' with South Korean band 'In The Endless Zanhyang We Are' as part of an international tour exchange. After more UK festival appearances and multiple sold-out shows over their career, they are into writing album number two over the UK's lockdown during the covid pandemic. Waiting for their performances planned at various showcases, festivals, and gigs around the UK, Asia, North America, and Europe over 2021 and 2022 their next festival appearance will be Future Echoes in Norrkoping, Sweden. Eyre Llew have already been featured multiple times on BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Kerrang! and a number of film/TV syncs including; Jonny Owen's 'Don't Take Me Home' documentary. This year is sure to be the one that takes the trio to the next level, having signed with management and getting significant label interest behind the scenes along with plenty more touring and release plans throughout the year, it's an exciting time for the band.
