The most inspiring bands are the ones that can create a world around themselves that is about far more than just the music. The artwork, lyrics, sounds and ethos all merge together perfectly to create its own universe, a secret club. THE LOVELY EGGS are one such band. And against all the odds, 2025 sees them celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band! Stubbornly and heroically independent, The Lovely Eggs have forged their own path and have achieved mainstream success without ever compromising their DIY ethics.
To mark their 20th anniversary, The Lovely Eggs have announced a very special LTD release entitled ‘Bin Juice’ – a collection of self-recorded outtakes from their last album ‘Eggsistentialism’, alongside rare B sides.
Released on their own label Egg Records, with eye watering artwork by Casey Raymond and hand packed in a black plastic bin bag on neon toxic slime green vinyl, this is yet another collectible release from a band who care as much about the art and ideas in their records as they do about the sound.
There will also be 300 copies exclusive to Rough Trade with alternative coloured sleeve and sticker art, on special edition transparent vinyl with toxic orange and slime green Bin Juice splatters.
We spoke to Holly from The Lovely Eggs recently about the new album, getting out on the road and coming to Cardiff. But first Holly told us why it’s important to do the music ‘business’ DIY…….
‘Bin Juice’ is released on 12” vinyl and CD. The band then head out on a UK tour this month which brings them to The Globe in Cardiff on Tuesday 28th October. To get tickets go HERE.
David told us……
“They’re kind of a sketchbook of songs. They’re not polished or laboured over but we thought it would be interesting to release them. It’s why we called the record Bin Juice. These were songs we had thrown away. But hopefully people like going through bins collecting trash.”
You can listen to ‘The Grind’ from the new album HERE.
