Eat Your Own Head count themselves as one of the bands spearheading a new wave of heavy music, redefining the UK rock scene. Known for their unpredictable twists and turns, the band veer from floor stomping riffs to tender moments of dark tranquillity. Centred around an organic approach to creating their music, their lyrics tap into the struggles of navigating modern life in 2024.
Their latest EP, 'The Trawler' is released 31st May 2024 via Drongo Records.
Taking inspiration from everything from Nirvana, Radiohead and Black Midi, the band formed in 2019 and were straight out of the blocks with the Hank EP in 2020, quickly landing themselves notable accolades from BBC 6music, The of Best Fit, Louder Than War, and Amazing Radio.
In 2022, Eat Your Own Head, released their debut album 'Neck-Deep In The Blyth', recorded by Tom Peters (Alpha Male Tea Party, Bicurious, The Hyena Kill) at Trapdoor Studios and mastered by Katie Tavini (Los Bitchos, Arlo Parks, Zuzu).
The quartet have built a strong live reputation from the word go and have headlined shows across the UK and Ireland and supported acts such as The Physics House Band, Heavy Lungs, St. Pierre Snake Invasion, Sugar Horse, The Guru Guru and many more.
Eat Your Own Head would like to thank Help Musicians for their financial support for releasing 'The Trawler' EP.
“Quite the wildcard, leaping and bounding through a variety of styles and tones with no end of confidence...an exhilarating assortment of sensations that has boundless replayability as you try to wrap your head around it. EAT YOUR OWN HEAD have evidently poured a lot of imagination and inventiveness into this release and it has paid off emphatically.”
- Distorted Sound [9/10]
“Sit with this record, try and digest what in tarnation is going on, but enjoy what they have to offer, as it is engrossing and enjoyable in almost every moment.”
- Noizze [8/10]
“The best rock album of the year for 2022...keeps growing on me, and I couldn’t have more fun getting into their dark, grungy yet fun sound”
- Everything Is Noise
“Phenomenal... pulls from all kinds of stuff, from abrasive and aggressive noise rock, to winding proggy Mastodon/TOOL-isms, to sparkly little mathy bits... a dynamic and often utterly raging listen that will no doubt be even more fun to behold live”
