Sheffield’s hotly tipped Alt/Rock outfit ‘Work In TV’ take things to the next level as they follow ‘Better Hours’ EP with the second single in the series ‘D.E.B.T’

Work In TV bonded over a love of indie-disco and despite only recently releasing music, have already sold out shows in their native Sheffield and packed out venues on their debut UK tour. They have enjoyed airplay via BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Radio X and been featured across numerous blogs and magazines. 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.

Starting 2024 with a bang, the band gets signed to Blaggers Records (The Skinner Brothers, JW Paris). And to kick off the start of the year with their latest single ‘Rich’ form an EP project dropping later in the year.

‘D.E.B.T’ (Out 28 March 2024) Song Bio:

Lyrically, “D.E.B.T.” is a tongue in cheek critique of the modern financial systems that serve to oppress so many of the working class around the world. The song opens by comparing the famous Ottoman siege of Constantinople to a debt collector attempting to recover a debt. As the song progresses, the lyrics continue in this viscerally satirical vein, with the clipboard as a symbol of the bureaucratic workings of financial institutions and a reference to Philip K. Dick’s classic novel serves to highlight the almost dystopian nature of such. Musically, “D.E.B.T.” showcases the band playing with a plethora of timbres and textures to craft a sense of motion. Analogue synths and wah-wah guitars combine with catchy, often guttural vocals in this loud romp, as whimsical as it is visceral.
