The Creature Appeal have evolved massively since their formation in the primordial ooze that was the late 2010’s Birmingham indie landscape. They consist of Nicole Sedgley (Vocals), Campbell Air (Guitar), Conor Sharphouse (Bass) Cath Grove (Keys), and Andy Wilson (Drums).
Their sound is difficult to pin down. Imagine the introspective and melancholy lyrics of Phoebe Bridgers/ Boygenius, paired with soaring, soulful vocals of Florence + The Machine, all backed by 2010’s-esque indie guitars. One thing is for sure; any gig with TCA on the line up will be an emotional rollercoaster.
After support from BBC Introducing, The Creature Appeal are releasing their final single of 2023, ‘Standing in The Sun’, backed by a 5-date UK Tour. With this set to be their biggest release to date, 2024 looks to be their busiest year yet.
