Leeds’ finest band English Teacher release an exclusive limited edition 140g, 10” Crystal Clear vinyl of their Live from Maida Vale EP.

The EP includes 2 stunning covers of  “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish and LCD Soundsystem’s “New York, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down”.

Formed from BBC sessions with Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 6, the group’s upcoming release features two covers – ‘Birds of a Feather’ (Billie Eilish) and ‘New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down’ (LCD Soundsystem) – alongside standout album tracks ‘The World’s Biggest Paving Slab’, ‘This Could Be Texas’ and ‘You Blister My Paint’, and follows acclaimed debut LP ‘This Could Be Texas’ (April 12th / Island Records) being shortlisted for the 2024 Mercury Prize.

The quartet’s biting social commentary and unique musical soundscapes saw their debut album chart at number 8 amid a flurry of 5-star reviews – it has been described as “a landmark debut” (NME), “one of the great debut albums of the 21st century” (The Sunday Times) and “setting (them) up for a long and adventurous career” (UNCUT).

English Teacher’s stunning ascent continues to reach new levels, with the band having recently announced their biggest headline shows to date for November (including debut appearances at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire and Manchester’s O2 Ritz), preceded by a full North American tour in September supporting IDLES. Following on from their thrilling appearance on Later With…Jools Holland, the group’s formidable rise also saw them named Official Independent Venue Week Artist Ambassador for 2024 (following in the footsteps of Wolf Alice, Arlo Parks, Wet Leg & Beabadoobee), with the band’s stature continuing to grow at an extraordinary rate.
