LONDON band Anteros will play a show at the Guild Hall in Preston, in support of band White Lies.

The hotly-tipped band built from strength to strength in 2016, becoming stalwarts of the live circuit and releasing two critically acclaimed singles, ‘Breakfast’ and ‘The Beat’.

The four-piece were named Annie Mac’s New Names for 2016 upon the release of ‘Breakfast’, while its follow-up ‘The Beat’ was praised by BBC Radio 1’s Phil Taggart for ‘a chorus so good it needs to go outside and have a word with itself.’

With two support tours, a headline slot at Worcester’s Uncover night and a set at Secret Garden Party already confirmed, 2017 is set to be a career-defining year for the band.

Fronted by Laura Hayden, Anteros’ sound has been compared to that of No Doubt and The Cardigans for its ‘spellbinding charm’ (DIY) and ‘sugar-sweet melodies with wry, smart lyrics’ (Nylon).

The band’s latest EP ‘Breakfast’ sees them incorporate indie pop and 70s disco

‘We can’t imagine a life without music now’ says Hayden of their journey so far, indicating that Anteros have no intention of slowing down on their path to becoming your new favourite band in 2017.

They play in Preston on March 6.
