The Lovely Eggs are an underground punk rock duo from Lancaster, northern England. They have a fierce punk rock ethos that music should have no rules.

For Holly and David, being in a band is a way of life. True to this, they live the way they play - fiercely and constantly in search of the good times. With observational and often surreal lyrics about life, The Lovely Eggs have a powerful stripped-down sound: one vintage guitar amp, one Big Muff distortion pedal, a guitar, and a drum kit.

With releases in the UK, Europe, USA, and Japan, The Lovely Eggs have played hundreds of gigs around the world supporting renowned bands such as Half Japanese, Shonen Knife, The Slits, Young Marble Giants, The Television Personalities and Art Brut. They have also embarked on an extensive two-month tour of America and performed at SXSW in Austin Texas. It's worth noting that Holly Ross was previously part of the band Angelica.

Northern psychedelic punks The Lovely Eggs return with a mind-melting new album titled This Is Eggland. Available here on LP and CD.

This Is Eggland is a giant leap forward in their wild-ride of a career. The album is like listening in on The Lovely Eggs’ own secret world, with philosophical songs about the mysteries of the universe (Hello I Am Your Sun), to abandoning “ the grass is always greener” mentality (Wiggy Giggy), to being on the wrong side of society or the music industry (I’m With You) and several inspired by local witchcraft. Unashamed to be themselves and have fun while they’re at it, The Lovely Eggs weave an intoxicatingly magnetic magic spell and we’re helplessly and willingly falling under it.

The Lovely Eggs are one of the most unique, innovative and genuine bands on the British Underground music scene. Heavier and more in-your-face than anything they’ve done previously, Holly Ross (guitar / vocals) and David Blackwell (drums) bring together a fierce DIY ethos, surreal sense of humour and kitchen-sink realism. Working with a producer for the very first time, Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev, The Flaming Lips) lends his magic dust to bring out the best of The Lovely Eggs’ explosive blend of motoric krautrock, 60s psychedelia and punk rock attitude. They create their own world and invite us to join them in Eggland. The album title is a cheeky nod to Shane Meadows’ series, This Is England. It is a comment on the current state of modern Britain. The album is about being an outsider and doing things differently, eschewing society’s conventions as they have done. The album was self-recorded at Lancaster Musician's Co-op and the Eggs’ own house. Dave Fridmann then produced it remotely. They then went out to Dave's Studio in New York State, for mixing. The result is a gratifyingly rich sounding record, which still retains the raw energy of the band’s sound but harnesses a real power and dynamism. It’s much heavier than anything they’ve done before. 

LP+ - Special Fried egg vinyl, 500 copies only, in a special hand packed sleeve.
