The Loft notched up an impressive list of firsts for Creation Records’ artists back in the mid-80s. First Creation band on TV, first to hit the top of the indie singles chart, first to be invited on to a major UK tour and first Creation band to record a coveted BBC radio session - for Janice Long’s Radio One show in 1984. Then they split up.
Since that infamous onstage split, mid-song, at the Hammersmith Palais in front of 3,000 people, the band has reunited, as their status as one of the UK’s most influential guitar bands of the 80s continues to grow and to influence a host of younger artists. Thirty nine years later, it seemed the time was right to record their debut album.
In 2023, after a sell-out show at London’s MOTH club and their heralded appearance at the Glas-Goes Pop festival, the group was invited by BBC 6 Music’s ‘Riley & Coe’ to record its fourth BBC session, at Maida Vale’s famous Studio 4. When Precious Recordings of London heard the broadcast, they immediately got in touch asking to rush release it on ten inch vinyl.
Enter Hamburg based, Tapete Records, who, hearing rumours about new Loft material, snapped up the album and signed the band without hearing a single note. The ten song collection, ‘Everything Changes, Everything Stays The Same’, is released by Tapete Records on 14 March, 2025. The album was recorded in Hackney and produced by Dexys’ Sean Read.
