Genevieve Miles returns withshoegaze-y, blues infused celebrationof freedom

Psychedelic indie fusion taking on shoegaze influences, for fans of Wolf Alice, Courtney Barnett and Led Zeppelin. Miles continues to evolve and mature, as “a true artist of today's generation.” (Local and Live) Together with her 5-piece band, her live shows are energising, joyous, affirming, therapeutic occasions to sing, dance and heal.“What a great night, all passion and angst… Patti Smith and P J Harvey Rolled into one." 

Her music has been featured on a Hyundai advert, selected on BBC Introducing’s Top Tracks of the year, and endorsed by Goose and Gander.

The grit of recording in Birmingham’s Digbeth truly shines through on the track, produced by Jo Cartledge, amongst a scene of exciting upcoming bands in Birmingham such as Gingham, Jazzcat and pip. 

On the single, Genevieve says: “this song explores the romance of finally getting to know yourself when you find yourself free from a toxic person, but the fragility and loneliness that also comes from getting to live for yourself” 

After the triumphant release of EP, So heavy, so hard to hold, Genevieve has been busy forging new expressions within her music. The EP, which offers “a sonic embrace to all who listen” (Unrecorded) was featured in BBC Introducing’s Top Tracks of 2023, listed in Dead Good Music’s top ten EPs of 2023 and gained spots on Amazing Radio's Indie and Easy Listening playlists. Lead single ‘Good’, was first launched on a Hyundai advert in 2022 and has since accumulated over a million views. 

Following the success of this EP, Genevieve has spent the past year in the studio, as well as performing around the UK, including notable festival slots at Camp Bestival and Wychwood Festival, opening for Low Island, Megan Wyn and Danny Mellin and headlining a packed out show at Birmingham’s renowned Hare and Hounds. She’s also received endorsement from exciting brands such as Goose and Gander. 

BBC Radio have consistently supported Genevieve since 2019, including a slot at BBCIntroducing Live,their joint showcase with Birmingham Music Awards (2020), the digital BBC

Airwaves Festival (2021), culminating playing their stage at Truck Festival (2023).

Recent notable gigs include Rough Trade, Bristol; Camp Bestival; Wychwood Festival; Truck Festival; The Great Escape Festival; Big Retreat Festival. Her wide range of influences was also celebrated when Fontaines D.C shared her acoustic cover of their song ‘I Don’t Belong’ for the online Rock the Breadline fundraiser. 

On the live experience, Genevieve says: "I love throwing myself around on stage and shouting as loud as I can: it's for all those years that I stayed quiet, didn’t get mad, people pleased. This is the time of the wild woman: we are loud, emotional, ALIVE."
