Work In TV were one of the highlight bands of the day at Waves Festival 2024, they are Sheffield’s beloved indie-pop quartet. Continuing onwards from the success of their debut EP released via Blaggers / Ditto, the band have sold out every headline show in their hometown and packed out venues on their UK tours. Enjoying continued support from BBC 6 Music, Apple Music, BBC Introducing and Radio X the band have been marauding up and down the country appearing at The Great Escape, Tramlines, Live At Leeds, Get Together, Float Along, Waves Sunderland and Solfest whilst gracing the sweaty stages of the UK’s best underground venues. Drawing influence from Foals, Interpol and Talking Heads, their sound features a disco-infused rhythm section, angular guitars and soaring synth sounds, all with a liberal sprinkle of contemporary indie pop and kitchen sink realism. The band officially welcomes you into their world.
