BBY

Discovered by music industry personalities after a loud set at the Windmill in Brixton, the band was quickly booked to play at All Points East and the Leeds Festival last year, and they haven’t stopped since. They meet every Wednesday, with bby focusing on these weekly sessions, which have already resulted in a series of hot and fast singles. From the bouncy “Hotline” to the emotive “U Come Near”—both reminiscent of Royel Otis or Phoenix. Their formation was serendipitous, as Deon explains, “Nice to meet you, I guess we’re in a band now,” marking the moment things started to move seriously when the chemistry clicked.
