Speakface at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"The new vessel for brutalizing sound from ex-Pretty Vicious Welsh grunge-popper Jarvis Morgan, Speakface sends guitar crunch and quaking rhythms spiralling through anthemic choruses, serrated mantras and feedback rituals. This is a necessary Exchange descent FFO: Estrons, Speedy Ortiz, Turbowolf."

Jarvis Morgan, former bassist of the acclaimed Welsh rock band Pretty Vicious, now fronts his new project Speakface, a noise rock and grunge outfit built on raw energy, distortion and attitude. During his time with Pretty Vicious, Jarvis toured nationally across Europe, the USA and Japan, bringing raw and reckless energy to stages around the world.

Now leading Speakface on vocals and guitar, he's joined by Hayden Lewis on guitar, James Addison on bass and Dozzer Griffiths on drums. Together, they deliver a heavy, unfiltered sound packed with grit, emotion and volume.

Expect a set of Speakface originals, with a few Pretty Vicious favourites thrown in for the ones who’ve been there from the start.
