Headsticks Electronic Press Kit
The Best Thing On TV
Bio
Fresh from stunning receptions at gigs and festival appearances aplenty, Headsticks are proud to release their fifth studio album, ‘The Best Thing On TV’, their best work yet: 12 tracks that flow effortlessly from high octane punk-rock to poignant, delicate folk. ‘The Best Thing On TV’ has already received glowing press reviews and the accolade of being Louder Than War’s Album Of The Week, as well as extensive airplay on rock, punk, and folk shows across the globe.
With an ever growing fanbase at their side, Headsticks are reaching new heights with their self proclaimed ‘Revolutionary Punk Roots Rock’n’Roll’ which has cross genre appeal seeing the band gaining endless plaudits from pillars of the Folk/Roots, Post Punk, Punk, and even the rock and blues fraternities. Sell out shows across the country as well as high profile tour supports with the likes of New Model Army, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Ferocious Dog, and Terrorvision to name a few, have seen the band profile rise.
Since late 2012 the band have relentlessly gigged and recorded and their hard work is now well and truly coming to fruition with their albums and their live performances receiving rave reviews from all corners of the musical spectrum as anthemic choruses, barbed lyrics, irresistible riffs, and uplifting beats are combined with a wry sense of humour, to deliver social commentary to encapsulate the spirit of this unique band. 2025 includes prestigious festival slots including headlines at many grass root festivals as well as returns to the likes of Bearded Theory and Rebellion where the band have become firm favourites.
