Featuring exhilarating footage from their recent UK tour, ‘Jagged Routine’, is a wide-eyed insight into life on the road with BERRIES. With performances, road clips, and backstage japes set to a soundtrack that veers and lurches with wild abandon, the track’s non-conformist sentiments are adeptly captured in this latest video.
Dedicated to anyone out there struggling with the daily grind and desperate to cut loose, BERRIES say of the track:
“Ultimately, ‘Jagged Routine’ is about the beauty of unpredictability and for some people the most authentic way to live is to embrace the jagged edges of non-routines.”
Following a “fantastic” John Kennedy-praised session for Radio X’, the band are confirmed to be hitting the airwaves in 2025 with a BBC Introducing session on 9thJanuary – stay tuned for details.
Following the completion of a headline nationwide tour earlier this Autumn, in further live news BERRIES will be supporting Xtra Mile Recordings labelmate FRANK TURNER & THE SLEEPING SOULS at their Wolverhampton Wulfrun Halls show on 18th February – details here.
Current single ‘Jagged Routine’ features alongside the Louder Than War hailed ‘Watching Wax’ and the BBC6 Music supported ‘Balance’, both of which feature on the acclaimed new album ‘BERRIES’.
Teaming up with production legend Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, Everything Everything), who took on mixing duties for the record, listeners will almost certainly feel that turbo-boost coursing through the veins of ‘BERRIES’.
Between Riot Grrrl-esque discordance and thunderous grunge-rock anthems ripe for the big rooms, ‘BERRIES’ finds a band spreading their wings with sonic explorations into shapeshifting math-rock (as on opener “Barricade”), epic post-rock nods (on closer “Crumpled Clothes”), through shades of Power-Pop (as on the infectious “Narrow Tracks”), and even tender, unadorned acoustica (as on “Balance”). Reflecting on making ‘BERRIES’, the band add:
“We really pushed ourselves creatively and out of our comfort zone, especially with the acoustic track and working with mixing engineer Adrian Bushby. We’re super proud of what we’ve written and created.”
BERRIES are a jagged rock trio made up of Holly Carter, Lauren Cooper and Lexi Clark. Winding off-kilter garage rock melodies around uplifting messages about what it takes to overcome mental health battles, the band released their debut album in 2022, ‘How We Function’, to glowing reviews. Gaining praise from the likes of Record Collector, The List and The Crack, the album was awarded four out of five stars by Louder Than War who dubbed it “a really well put together debut album that rocks hard and gets its message across succinctly, with a bristling beat and an intelligence that it takes some bands a few albums to achieve”. The band also delivered an exhilarating Radio X Session on John Kennedy’s show plus Steve Lamacq featured ‘Balance’ on his 6 Music Show this week. In recent years the band have supported punk/rock legends the likes of The Subways, Skinny Lister, Feeder, and Sleeper, plus Newcastle noiseniks The Pale White, while impressing audiences nationwide across the UK at their own headline shows. Setting fervent expectations for its follow-up, BERRIES have returned to the Xtra Mile Recordingslabel for the release of their eponymous second album, ‘BERRIES’, out now.
