It’s here. Our first new album in four years. Eggsistentialism is out May 17.
Mind boggling artwork by the inimitable

ALL vinyl orders direct from us include a signed art print of the album cover. The first 500 LPs also signed by us.
We were robbed last night. By
@O2ApolloManc
who took 30% of our merch sales. Also forced to sell T shirts for £35. Found out last minute. Tried to fight it. But management wouldn’t listen. This shit will kill DIY bands like us. O2 Apollo you should be ashamed of yourself.
Harassment , relentless abuse , intimidation and now arson . And what next . . . ? I will not be cowed , I will not buckle , but can I ask for your help ? If you are an

‘s 6 Music show. People say it’s progress, change blah blah. But Marc’s show was so much more than just a radio programme to so many people…
3/3 Marc helped us to build an audience, a scene, connect w other bands. He allowed us to operate outside the system.We still can’t express how much that man has helped our band & allowed us to operate on our own terms.We don’t know what else to say. Thank you

The world has gone fucking MAD! “I am Moron” is currently # 1 in the U.K. physical albums chart and # 16 in the U.K. main album chart! Don’t let Pearl Jam grind our face into the dirt two weeks in a row! Order our new album NOW!
13 years ago tomorrow two eggs got hitched. We’re not posting anything tomoz because BLACK LIVES MATTER. Solidarity. Love one another. Be decent humans. Ova and out! ✌️❤️🌍
The punks have taken over the frigging asylum! I’m officially a FREEMAN of Lancaster! I can graze my beasts on the Marsh. I don’t have to pay tolls to get into town. I can report my conspiracy theories to the Mayor… This is like a dream come true!

@dounetherabbit
has been cancelled. We were promised full payment in advance. We’ve not been paid anything. Hung out to dry like loads of others. (Although some acts have been paid in full). This massively affects DIY bands like us. Fucking fed up.
WEDDING BOOKINGS! We have now decided to take on wedding bookings. Have us play at YOUR wedding! Will play anything from Simply Red to Toploader. DM us for details.

‘s show has pulled the rug from underneath the DIY music scene, from bands with no connections, no playlist pluggers, no music industry infrastructure…
On IWD I thought i would post this to inspire other girls and women in bands. I wanted to be in a band AND be a mum. Society says you can’t do both. But fuck that! Get in the van & get on with it! Don’t let anyone define the rules of YOUR life. Happy International Womens Day! 💪
Our gig at the
@O2RitzManc
in Manchester tomorrow is our biggest ever headline show. No record label. No booking agent. No publisher.
Hope this gives encouragement to all the DIY bands out there. Do it yer own way. Thanks to everyone who has bought a ticket. Eggs 1. Industry 0🙏
There are lots of bands who are re-scheduling shows. PLEASE don’t get refunds on tickets. By NOT applying for a refund you are really supporting bands like us who are in the shit right now! Solidarity going out to all the bands, venues and promoters with cancelled/postponed tours
So sad to hear about
@aanightingale
. What a woman! What an inspiration! She believed in us and invited us to put together a mixtape for her show. We were honoured & with the help of pals we pulled it off. She taught us to fuck genres and just make good music. Thank you Annie 🙏
You couldn’t WRITE this…Arrived for our Halifax show hungover to fuck. Opened up our T- Shirt merch bag to find they had been chewed by what we thought were RATS…WRONG!! Does this sort of shit happen to other bands?!?
THE MORONS ARE NUMBER ONE!! 😍 I, Moron is Top of both the Vinyl and Physical Official U.K. Singles chart! Thanks for your support Eggheads! Means everything! And most importantly thanks to IGGY fucking POP!!!😍

@RSDUK
release is the result of having an idea but not having the money to pull it off. At a conventional pressing plant a mirrored sleeve costs an absolute packet. But it HAD to be done! Never give up on your ideas. You will always find a way. Eventually.

@RishiSunak
as self employed musicians who can not tour and earn money to live, if you give us 20% of our average income does this mean we only have to pay 20% of our gas bill? Does this mean our son only gets 20% of his Xmas presents this year??
@CatSmithMP
Dilemma: whether to spend hundreds of pounds we don’t have to make T-shirts to sell on a tour that might not happen. 🎲 😭Why isn’t the gov giving more info on venue re-opening that’s meant to be happening in less than 4 weeks?!?! The anxiety and stress is REAL

Me and David have never let hard times stop us. Even if our Feb tour gets pushed back you know we won’t let you down. We’ll reschedule it 50 times more if we have to! Make sure you’re at the party when it comes. Because these gigs WILL HAPPEN! We are in this for life!
We’ve proved that the world can change in a day. Shops shut, flights grounded etc. Change can happen like THAT. No excuses for the future. No more poverty. No more profit. No more greed. No more environmental damage. A new dawn. Maybe.
Cold and wet knocking up voters. But it will all be SO worth it if we get JC4PM! Vote for Hope! A rainbow is just around the corner! 🌈🌹❤️🌹🌈

We are used to shit hitting the fan. We’re onnit. Back soon Eggheads. If our April tour can’t go ahead we will reschedule. We won’t let you down! Keep yer chin up and yer hands clean!

@jeremycorbyn
lost Labour this election. He brought so much hope to so many. He showed us there’s a different way to live. With love and compassion and humanity. And THEY crucified him.
Four years ago today we released “I Am Moron.”Our second with Dave Fridmann and our sixth as a DIY independent band. It went to NUMBER FUCKING ONE in the UK Independent Album charts. It was David vs Goliath. David won! 🏆 To all the DIY bands out there…keep the fucking faith! ✊

2020 is the year of the egg.
New single out next week.

We need a different way of living.
We need a new world away from bullshit.
Let’s try and knock it up together Eggheads!
BIG LOVE HOLLY AND DAVID XXX
The Do It Differently Fund have given us some brass to help record a new album. Now that’s either gunna be the best or the worst news you’ll hear all week.
@HelpMusiciansUK
We’ve not played Wembley yet but this is TRUTH! We’re 100% self managed, no booking agent, no record label or publisher and still doing better than some bands on major labels. Fuck the bullshit. Everything is possible! 💫
We played Wembley Arena last night! And we still own the rights to all our music, we’re still self managed and still independent! I say this so that other artists know that it’s possible to do this without the rigid archaic structures this industry will try to force upon you!❤️
The world’s gone fucking mad! "I am Moron" is currently number 2 in the UK physical sales chart. If you’ve enjoyed it. Please buy it!! And stop Pearl Jam grinding our faces into the dirt for two weeks running!
#timstwitterlisteningparty
Piccadilly Records have dedicated their ENTIRE shop window to “I am Moron”! 🙌❤️🙌 We LOVE that shop!! Let the love flow back and order our new album from them now!
@PiccadillyRecs
This is us and our crew on tour. Living the fucking dream. If we can’t tour again we’re fucked. It’s what we live for. It’s what thousands of bands and engineers and promoters and venues live for. We need urgent government support NOW.
