Pressure

The Heys

unsigned

WE SAY

This band really caught our ears for the usual reason (or not that usual sadly) - they've got at least one really good song. Pressure is it and it's the lead track on a lurid green 7" single, due for release in September. Great verse, great energy, great delivery. They're a three piece from Leamington Spa who expand to a four piece when playing live.
