After releasing a string of successful singles throughout 2023, Bristol indie-rock four-piece The Bedside Morale return with the release of their debut EP Still Life, out now on all major streaming platforms.
The band have been making music together since 2014; What was immediately apparent was that they’d found something special together, and the pursuit of the band began in earnest.
Over the years different forms of musical and self expression were explored. The group bonded over their shared love of all kinds of music, and were unafraid to bring new elements into their own writing. It’s been a storied journey since those early days but the group developed into a very close-knit unit, coming to realise exactly who they were and how they fit together. Close to a decade of life experiences and musical adventures has resulted in The Bedside Morale; sincere rock music without limits.
The Bedside Morale’s debut EP Still Life was produced and mixed at Stage 2 Studios with Josh Gallop (Mother Vulture, Krooked Tongue, Phoxjaw); it’s a four-track snapshot in time of where the band were at creatively, at the beginning of their new musical journey.
Describing the writing process guitarist Charlie Dowzell says: “The lyrics are true to life and conversational in nature; We had a lot of fun exploring new themes and sounds for this EP and the reflection of honesty from within and love for our craft were the driving forces – it just so happened that the EP culminated in a freeze-frame of where we, as individuals and a collective, were at time of writing.”
Vocalist and lyricist Tim Kazer adds: “I’m trying to write more that matters to me, lyrics that I can deliver from my chest. For this EP I wanted to write songs that reflect life, or some aspect of it. Songs that are real and that are true to it. There’s moments of love and of pain and it’s all heartfelt. I think maybe I feel some sort of need to come back to authenticity and I can say, hand on whole heart, that every song here is authentically us.”
Are you going to add this one to the rotation?
