Thirty years ago a young Northern skinhead band named Bradford from Blackburn Lancashire were handed the baton by Morrissey as the band to blaze a trail in English indie music following the demise of the Smiths. Producer Stephen Street, who had just come off the back of an extremely successful collaboration with Morrissey on his early solo recordings, immediately signed the band to his brand new Foundation label. Stephen and the band made camp in Wales summer 1989 and during three intense weeks of creative endeavour produced their debut album 'Shouting Quietly' which was released in March 1990 to critical acclaim.
The best part of three decades passed and Turntable Friend Records re-mastered and re-released a 30 song collection in 2018, entitled Thirty Years Of Shouting Quietly. The album was re-appraised as a 'lost English classic'.
Following calls for a new album, Street joined forces with Ewan Butler & Ian H and became a full band member of Bradford in 2019. Together they went on to create the 2021 album 'Bright Hours' which made the UK Independent album charts at a respectable no. 26. Fast forward 2024 and they now have a new album 'You Are Stronger Than You Think' due for release early 2025 with sinlges 'A Brief Visitation' & 'Shirking Class Hero' out 22.11.24 & early '25 respectively. Buckle-up for more great music & exciting times ahead and please give us a 'follow' and stay up to date with emerging events!
