Formal Sppeedwear

Formal Sppeedwear are a three-piece hailing from Stoke-on-Trent. They consist of Beck Clewlow (bass, vocals, & synthesisers), Charlie Ball (guitar & synthesisers), and Connor Wells (Drums, guitar, & synthesisers).

Let’s see what they have been up to:

A Dismount

The glory days of Yeasayer and Little Comets reimagined through the warped prism of Gary Numan.

Awkward and awry, but like MGMT, they make it cool af and something the mainstream is going yearn to be a part of sooner rather than later!

Bunto

Slick basslines build the foundation for Clewlow to unfurl a divine David Byrne-esque vocal. Meanwhile, Ball and Wells drums have a bowed muscularity, which makes Mick Ronson sound like he was in Devo.
