Carsick are a four-piece made up of Joe Richardson (frontman, on both vocals and guitar), his brother Jack Richardson (on guitar), Jack Hardiman (on bass), and Tom Armstrong (on drums). With the exception of Jack (who is from Reading), they hail from Wiltshire and were formed over a series of pints in Salisbury back in 2021.

Earlier this year they released their debut EP ‘Drunk Hymns’ vial the legendary Alcopop Records. We check out a couple of tracks:
Anaconda Frank
Thrill-seeking violence! Independent venues are going to need to take out higher insurance bonds once this single is unleashed live.
The visceral venom of Soft Play (Slaves) guitars via the poignancy of Jamie T reignites the notion of running with believers!
Runner
Runner shows a more melodic side to the band. Jamie T’s and Mike Skinner’s direct poetic delivery permeates throughout but is never parody.
The protagonist, hopeless, idealistic, and foolishly courageous, a fine insight into the young male psyche! Teenage souls searching for meaning and adventure have a new voice!
