the Ilfords

Our LISTEN LIVE playlist showcases a culmination of songs from some of our favourite artists that you can catch performing live in the upcoming weeks.

Today’s addition to LISTEN LIVE is Something She Said To Me by The Ilfords

The Ilfords are a raucous, ‘characterful’, unsigned alt/indie rock outfit out of Ilford Road, Newcastle, with a sound drawing comparisons to Arctic Monkeys, Foals, the Maccabees and Palace. They hit the Newcastle music scene hard at an early age, subjecting countless Tyneside crowds to their high-energy alt-rock formula from 2012 to 2017, but then life forced the boys apart. Now, after a long hiatus, the Ilfords are reemerging.

Having sold out show after show on their 2022 UK tour, they’re quickly becoming hot property once again. Expect crunch, energy and sh*t hair in spades, and as good a live show as you’ll see (at least a day or two either side, depending on who else you see and when).
