TV FACE - Tide of Men - ALBUM

The band called TV FACE are a post-punk/noise-rock band from Lancaster (UK). Expect weird guitar combined with a tight and heavy rhythm section, laced with deranged yet tuneful girl-boy vocals. A classic three-piece, they have been compared to Braniac, McClusky, Minutemen, and Pixies.

Their debut album Tide of Men was released on 22 September 2023 on Evil Blizzard’s label Crackedankles Records (Evil Blizzard, Yaang, Thank, Hot Wax, and more). It was named Louder Than War’s album of the week. The self-produced album was recorded partly in an old church, and partly in a bungalow in rural Lancashire, and mastered by Pete Maher (White Stripes, Pixies). Lead track I Knew a Girl I Didn’t Know was released as a limited edition lathe-cut 7” single that sold out in a couple of hours.

TV FACE have been played by, amongst others, Huw Stephens (Radio One), Deb Grant and Tom Ravenscroft (6Music), Tom Robinson (6Music), John Kennedy (Radio X), Frank Skinner (Absolute Radio), Mat Baty (Pigsx7, Amazing Radio), Frankie Francis (Amazing Radio), BBC Music Introducing Lancashire. 

They have supported The Undertones, benefits, Warmduscher, Brix Smith, Evil Blizzard, Objections, FlithyDirty, Thank.

Their songs rage at the expectation that we should put a brave face on while we’re being kept out, pushed down and held under; each song a short, sharp clap back to the keep-calm-and-carry-on-gang. Gloriously, riotously, unashamedly angry, with a dash of indignation, and a soupçon of incredulity.

Stuck

Rising noise-punk trio from Lancaster, TV FACE, serve “sonic fury with a satirical edge … blistering, genre-defying … both chaotic and meticulously tight” (HellaFuzz). 


Their much anticipated second album, Wolf Rents Bark, was released on 5th September 2025 via Preston’s cult label Crackedankles Records — home to underground heavyweights including Evil Blizzard, Hotwax, and Polypores.  The album has received rave reviews, including Album of the Week from Louder Than War, 5/5 stars from ThePunkSite.com and 9/10 from Mystic Sons.


Live, TV FACE are known for their high-intensity performances, “with dynamics ... not seen since the likes of Therapy? … in the early nineties” (Louder Than War). They are on tour throughout October and November, promoting the album.
