British rock ‘n’ roll outfit Vieira and The Silvers swept us off our feet when we saw them live at the Left of the Dial festival last fall, and now they’re finally releasing their long-awaited debut EP. While the six musicians operate as a steaming rock ‘n’ roll machine full of madness on stage, they manage to surprise us in the five songs on Well Fed, Fully Clothed and Completely Sane by showcasing even more facets of their skills.

Expect exuberant garage rock with adventurous detours into psych, blues, and proto-punk, driven by a raucous instrumental line-up in which saxophone, harmonica, guitars, and rhythm section all vie for attention. Anchored by commanding vocals, the songs twist through unexpected tempo changes and groovy hooks. Drawing inspiration from the pioneers of the 60s and 70s, these tracks unfold like miniature rock operas—an increasingly rare feat today, yet one that feels perfectly attuned to the present moment.

Well Fed, Fully Clothed and Completely Sane, produced by Sean Read, is out now digitally (self-released).
