Black Country, New Road formed in Cambridge in 2018 and quickly became one of the most distinctive bands to emerge from the South London scene centered around venues such as The Windmill in Brixton. The original lineup brought together Isaac Wood, Tyler Hyde, Lewis Evans, Georgia Ellery, May Kershaw, Charlie Wayne, and, from 2019, guitarist Luke Mark. Their music drew from post-rock, post-punk, free jazz, chamber music, klezmer, and experimental rock, creating long-form songs that could move from sparse passages into explosive ensemble performances.

The group first attracted attention with the 2019 singles “Athen’s, France” and “Sunglasses,” both of which were later substantially re-recorded for the 2021 debut album For the first time. That album also introduced “Science Fair,” “Track X,” “Instrumental,” and “Opus,” and reached the Top 5 of the UK Albums Chart. The follow-up, Ants From Up There, arrived in 2022 with a more sweeping and melodic sound built around songs such as “Concorde,” “Bread Song,” “The Place Where He Inserted the Blade,” “Snow Globes,” and “Basketball Shoes.”

Four days before Ants From Up There was released, Isaac Wood left the band. Rather than replace him, Black Country, New Road continued as a six-piece, with Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw taking on lead-vocal and songwriting roles. The group wrote an entirely new set for touring, and those songs became Live at Bush Hall in 2023. The live album introduced material including “Up Song,” “The Boy,” “Dancers,” “Turbines/Pigs,” and “I Won’t Always Love You,” documenting the band’s transition into a new creative period.

The six-piece lineup released its third studio album, Forever Howlong, in 2025, with vocal and songwriting duties shared across the group. The record included “Besties,” “Happy Birthday,” “For the Cold Country,” “Two Horses,” “Mary,” and “Goodbye (Don’t Tell Me).” Black Country, New Road have also issued two limited cover EPs, major live recordings, the Ethan P. Flynn collaboration “Television Show (Live),” a live cover of Big Star’s “The Ballad of El Goodo,” and the 2026 War Child compilation track “Strangers.”
