Web

£10 (inc. fees) - The Greyhound - 21st October 2025

Experimental noise quartet Web are making moves on the alternative London scene with their new single ‘News’, which is released today (28 May) via Practise Music (Squid, Blue Bendy, deep tan).

Although ‘News’ is technically their second single - with one released five years ago in an early iteration of the band - it represents a true starting point for Web. Having formed initially as a trio around brothers Kristian and Lucas Eveleigh and drummer Ben Roe in Portsmouth where they were all living at the time, the band moved to London and in 2023 they became a quartet when Kathryn Reed joined the band on flute.

‘News’ has a stuttering and heavily distorted start that suddenly bursts into life with a frenetic energy and doesn’t let up until it suddenly breaks to a stop in just under two minutes. Within that short runtime they cram in an impressive amount of ideas without ever sounding rushed or undercooked.

Guitarist Lucas Eveleigh says “The song was inspired by our mum watching the news headlines every night before bed - it was always really intense. It captures that clash between the horrifying and the mundane: “my father was on that plane / I must buy more milk”. Musically, we worked the song out through live jams. We used to do the whole William Burroughs cut up the songs and rearrange things, and over time it mutated into its current form.”

Web are on a mission to make music as heavy as they can. Partly in response to the wiry post-punk sound that has been de rigueur for the last few years around venues like The Windmill and Shacklewell Arms, their dark and visceral sound combines thrashing drums and guitar without ever quite becoming metal. Indeed, their music serves up surprises, at turns appealing to fans of jazz, prog, rock, pop, noise and beyond.

This dualism runs deep within the band. Their first single is built upon it thematically (“the horrifying and mundane”) and it is reflected in their name with the natural and digital connotations you can draw from the word ‘Web’ highlighting it as a fundamental part of their makeup. This goes even deeper when you consider their use of traditional instruments to create something they hadn’t heard before.

The band have cut their teeth on the London live scene, supporting bands like Fat Dog, Blue Bendy and Heartworms recently, winning fans the old fashioned way at each show. They write their music collaboratively with every note and motif jammed out for hours on end in rehearsal rooms. Once they are fully happy with individual segments they pick out their favourite moments and try different arrangements into them until a song is born. The meanings of their songs are usually derived from these embryonic sessions, with feelings and images that come to the band during this process going on to influence the lyrics.

Web are Kristian Eveleigh (vocals and bass), Lucas Eveleigh (guitar), Ben Roe (drums) and Kathryn Reed (flute).
