Lucky Number

Raised in the sleepy town of Driffield in East Yorkshire, Priestgate is a band comprised of Rob Schofield on vocals, Bridie Stagg on drums, Connor Bingham on guitar, Isaac Ellis on guitar, and Kai Overton on bass. The nucleus of Priestgate came together after Ellis was recommended to the band by Schofield’s dad, who he works alongside building coffins as his 9-5 job. Soon after, Overton, a mental health worker for the local council, completed the line-up.

Dubbed “The best new live band on the planet” by Dork, the ascendant East Yorkshire five-piece Priestgate are back with One Shade Darker, the highly anticipated follow-up to their enthralling debut EP Eyes Closed For The Winter. 

Featuring ‘Some Things Never Change’, named Tune Of The Week by Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1 (“outstanding, emotive, arena ready guitar music”) and the new single 'White Shirt', an anthemic homage to their small hometown of Driffield. 

Formed as a battle cry against the restlessness and mundanity of rural life, Priestgate began as a reaction to the sparse local music scene around them, which in turn has allowed them to craft and develop their own unique sound without the added pressure of conformity. Drawing comparisons to The Cure and The Maccabees, Priestgate have combined bright guitar-pop hooks with darker lyrical sensibilities, concocting their own angst-laden blend of the hypnotic and euphoric.
