Tv Priest

TV Priest is an English rock band formed in London and active since 2019. Its debut album, Uppers, appeared in 2021, and the group is fronted by Charlie Drinkwater. The follow-up, My Other People, was released on Sub Pop Records and takes a more open approach than its predecessor, moving beyond anger and aggression to address love, loss and joy.

According to the band, the new record deals with personal disintegration and destruction, and with rebuilding afterwards. Its musical response to Britain and England in 2021 is abstract and textural rather than literal, drawing on images such as a muddy field seen from a train, wildflowers beside a motorway, and a supermarket car park smelling of diesel on a bank holiday.

Oporto is a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows, and this evening gives listeners the chance to hear the band's songs in that setting. The night suits anyone following the band's move from its first album to its second.
