“You’ve got to hand it to The Lovely Eggs over 20 years and still making, distributing and promoting their music completely independently. In today’ climate, that’s no mean feat. It’s something to be fucking applauded.”– Rough Trade
The most inspiring bands are the ones that can create a world around themselves that is about far more than just the music. The artwork, lyrics, sounds and ethos all merge together perfectly to create its own universe, a secret club. The Lovely Eggs are one such band. And against all the odds, 2025 sees them celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band! Stubbornly and heroically independent, The Lovely Eggs have forged their own path and have achieved mainstream success without ever compromising their DIY ethics.
To mark their 20th anniversary, The Lovely Eggs have announced a very special LTD release entitled ‘Bin Juice’ – a collection of self-recorded outtakes from their last album ‘Eggsistentialism’, alongside rare B sides.
Released on their own label Egg Records, with eye watering artwork by Casey Raymond and hand packed in a black plastic bin bag on neon toxic slime green vinyl, this is yet another collectible release from a band who care as much about the art and ideas in their records as they do about the sound.
There will also be 300 copies exclusive to Rough Trade with alternative coloured sleeve and sticker art, on special edition transparent vinyl with toxic orange and slime green Bin Juice splatters.
“We had all these spare songs after we released our last album ‘Eggsistentialism’, and we didn’t really know what to do with them,” explained Holly. “They just didn’t seem to fit in with the vibe of ‘Eggsistentialism’, but we’d recorded them and wanted to get them out there.”
“They’re kind of a sketchbook of songs,” added David. “They’re not polished or laboured over but we thought it would be interesting to release them. It’s why we called the record Bin Juice. These were songs we had thrown away. But hopefully people like going through bins collecting trash.”
You can have a pre-release peak inside their bins with the just released track ‘The Grind’.
“Everybody wants an excuse to escape the 9-5 and day to day normality,” said Holly.” “It’s our raison d’etre for being in a band. The Grind looks at all that stuff and is a bit of a paperback anthem for the disenfranchised and disillusioned.”
Bin Juice will be released on 12” vinyl and CD on Friday 17th October. The band then head out on a UK tour later in the month.
“The last 20 years have been a lifelong dedication to music and art. It’s never been a job, it’s a lifestyle, a way of life, an ethos and a commitment to creating,” said David. “We’ve spent most of our lives being in bands and trying to challenge a mainstream conventional lifestyle.”
