The New Eves

Brighton folk-punk quartet the New Eves combine tradition and history with a modern rock flair while adding unusual instruments like cello, violin, and flute into the mix. Formed in 2021 in U.K. alternative hub Brighton, they were part of the town's burgeoning underground D.I.Y. scene. Inspired by the Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, numerous works of literature, and the rich and long history of European traditional music, they forged a unique sound that combines raw, garagey rock with unusual instrumentation, folk-song structures, and wild, ritualistic four-part vocals. Snapped up by cult indie Transgressive after literally one single (2023's self-released double-A-side "Original Sin"/"Mother"), they released their debut album, The New Eve Is Rising, in August 2025.
