Welly Reveal New Single & Video “Deere John”

Welly have shared their new single and video, Deere John, that sets out Welly’s worldview for pop on a budget. Crashing together the best bits of punk, indie-disco and DIY electronics over curtain-twitching suburban storytelling, Welly are that rare new breed – already unmistakable and threatening future ubiquity. The hotly tipped British band made up of Welly and his schoolmates are poised to follow recent sold out London shows at The Century Club and Third Man Records with scene-stealing sets across this summer’s festivals, with dates at Latitude Festival, Dorks Day Out and Multitude Festival with more to come and more to be announced soon.

“A story about a bloke who is sleeping around and is in way over his head. I won’t give away too much of the plot – as it gives clues to other songs – so have fun reading into that what you will. This is the best example of parochial British songwriting that I have yet to offer: Albarn, Dury, Turner, they all wrote about what they saw out of their bedroom window, and I try to write about what I see over the garden fence. Deere John was originally found on my Live dissertation EP, which I got a 2:1 for. I’ll let the public decide this time.” (Welly)

Welly are rallying a young audience likewise in search of something different and something fun. The band’s hilarious Instagram reels have quickly gone viral, with work that takes little too seriously but remains deeply sincere – here are songs about wanting more than you have, about general tensions, and about figuring out how to be happy under the nose of your neighbour. Deere John is the unlikely tableaux of a man, his wife and his lawnmower: Welly’s tales from the suburbs are just beginning.
