Bombay Bicycle Club

Bombay Bicycle Club formed in north London in 2006, Jack Steadman, Jamie MacColl, Ed Nash, and Suren de Saram meeting at school and developing a sound that drew on indie rock, folk, and electronic music in equal measure. Their debut album 'I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose' (2009) was a confident statement of melodic indie rock that earned strong reviews and a devoted following.

What distinguished Bombay Bicycle Club was their refusal to repeat themselves. 'Flaws' (2010) was an acoustic album; 'A Different Kind of Fix' (2011) returned to electric guitars with a more urgent energy; 'So Long, See You Tomorrow' (2014) incorporated samples and electronic textures in ways that felt genuinely new. Each album was a deliberate reinvention, and each one worked.

After a hiatus, the band returned with 'Everything Else Has Gone Wrong' (2020) to widespread acclaim, demonstrating that their creative ambition remained entirely intact. They have continued to record and tour, with Steadman's songwriting growing in confidence and ambition. They are one of the most consistently interesting British indie bands of the past two decades. ⚠ Flag: post-2020 activity — verify any releases since 'Everything Else Has Gone Wrong'.
