Ground Control Touring

Door-to-door heartbreak salesmen Nature TV peddle an elixir of escapism and adventure. Sorrow and despondency. Contemplative nostalgia and tender melancholy. Hailing from Brighton it’s a canvasing technique they employ around the British Isles. Geographically out of phase with the main character energy of London, Guy Bangham (guitar, vocals), Josh Eriskin (bass), Jimmy Hunt (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Zal Jones (drums) write sadboi yacht rock layered with all the buried trauma of a Wes Anderson plot.

It’s a sales pitch that’s brought them fans at press and radio alike, with DORK, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, Gigwise, The Wild Honey Pie, Hype Machine, Radio One, Radio X, BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio all lining up to call themselves fans. Equally infatuated are the editorial gatekeepers at Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and Deezer, earning the band playlist placements such as New Music Friday, Hot New Bands, Garden Indie, Stress Buster, The Lovely Little Playlist, Lo-Fi Indie, Alt Rocked, The Most Beautiful Songs in The World, David Dean Burkhart, Nice Guys, The Daily Dose and BIRP!

Live, the four-piece have captivated audiences at festivals such as ILMC, The Great Escape and Wild Paths alongside support slots with PINS, Wyldest, CVC, VANT, and Swimming Tapes. Following a UK tour with Trudy & The Romance the band took to the road for their own headline dates in October 2022 where they sold out Sneaky Pete’s (Edinburgh), Green Door Store (Brighton), The Washington (Sheffield), and The Victoria (Dalston).
