bby 1 LP

Following breaking the USA Alt Top 20 with "hotline," being tipped in Zane Lowe's 24 artists for 2024 list, added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist and a huge BBC Maida Vale session, London 5-piece bby announce their first album 1. Tipped by the biggest names including Pigeons & Planes who said "bby is shaking things up, and they've got the music to back it up", Rolling Stone who called the band "soon to be legendary" and NME who tipped the band for 2024 breakout dubbing them a "raucous new guitar band."

bby have spent their first year selling out shows at their East London HQ, where they shoot their high energy music videos, harking back to the days of sweaty, crowd surfing, house party punk shows. Having found each other on the internet after cultivating their individual musical abilities playing for revered underground London acts, they upgraded to "real life" meet-ups to hang, write, jam, develop and produce their own gritty alternative sound out of their HQ in East London. The result is a blending of alternative and indie genres, where carefully crafted musical concepts meet freedom and audacity, to make music that sounds like the moment.

"1 is about the beginning and end of a relationship. Letting a stranger become the most important person in your room and then learning how to make them feel like a stranger again and not someone who could destroy you. But that's like the quiet and written side of it. The heart of it is the hangs. Playing these songs for the day 1s at the HQ. Sweating, moshing, drinking, dancing and figuring them all out live. Playing a hundred different versions until they hit just right. Playing a hundred different jams until we got 13 songs that tell the story we wanna tell and move the room how we wanna move it. We all met online about 1 year ago, started the hangs about 6 months ago, and now dropping our first album. This is where it starts. We made it out the group chat."
