NME’s ones to watch, Eades, combine the creative values of Wilco, Sonic Youth and Sparklehorse, with the immediacy of The Velvet Underground and The Clash. Eades have evolved over years of continually touring around the UK and Europe, finely poised between indie rock and alternative 90s. Their tight self-produced sound is glued together by the vocal swapping and storytelling partnership of Harry Jordan and Tom O’Reilly.
