about
Precious Metals formed in Sheffield in 2018. Their beachcombing post-punk riffs, psychedelic keys and earworming alternative pop harmonies have the band surfing somewhere on the Pacific Ocean between 90s Olympia and Connan Mockasin’s tripped-out New Zealand. Their lyrics are inspired by bottled messages found in post-industrial waterways, the social politics of Cold War Germany, Mongolian wildlife – or, in the case of ‘Portholes’, were written entirely by a pair of schoolgirls from Rotherham. The band’s debut EP, Herpetology, was recorded at Sheffield’s Delicious Clam, where Precious Metals have played with acts including New York lo-fi hero Frankie Cosmos and northern punk contemporaries Crumbs. Their live dates on the DIY circuit have been punctuated by shows at country manors, suburban woodlands and Tudor cottages. Sing along if you want to. Wear a thong if you want to! Precious Metals are: Becky Thomas – vocals, guitar, keys Matt Duffy – guitar, BVs Sam Richardson – bass, BVs Sarah Abbott – drums, BVs Posted By Precious Metals User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
