STEALING SHEEP - THE PROPULSIVE AVANT-POP REBELS OF LIVERPOOL
BRINGING ENERGY BACK TO THE REAL WORLD
You might have stumbled across Stealing Sheep before—maybe their debut single
‘Shut Eye’ snuck into your feed as a rogue viral meme, lurking in the obscure corners
of YouTube and TikTok catching your attention with their infectious avant pop, bold
over the top visuals and gaming inspired looks that have gained the group a cult
following over the years
Hailing from Liverpool, UK, Stealing Sheep are a trio of Becky, Emily and Lucy -
friends and bandmates of 15 years who have fearlessly carved out their own brand of
pop championed through fan art and deep cut devotion. Drawing inspiration from
everything ranging from online Therian and cosplay communities to multidisciplinary
art of Jeremy Deller, KLF and Tracey Emin, Stealing Sheep presents a kaleidoscopic
sonic manifesto that is addictive with its oddball pop and explosive aesthetics. Their
self-described ‘visual pop’ might not have topped the charts, but it’s fuelled a
dedicated cult following (shoutout to the 6 Music dads keeping the faith!). Now, they’re back with a new album (GLO - Girl Life Online) and a new label (G-IRL - Girl In Real Life) - both marking a bold new era for Stealing Sheep. Produced by Joe
Wills at Nan’s House Studio, the new chapter presents a quintessentially
idiosyncratic blend of musical inspirations ranging from medieval electronic pop to
rave pop, UK garage, and PC music. Unapologetically both otherworldly and DIY, the new album and the launch of their
own label marks a new era for Stealing Sheep: it’s a declaration of independence
and a creative movement pulsating with kaleidoscopic joy and determination to bring
energy back to the real world. Contact: stealingsheep@outlook.com
