Overpass (Early Show)

Birmingham’s overpass bring their taut, guitar-led indie rock to Rough Trade East in London on 10 June 2026, celebrating the release of their new album Elsewhere, Always on Communion. Formed in the Midlands, the quartet made their name on the live circuit before anything else, sharpening songs built on crisp riffs, a tight rhythmic backbone and melodies that stick without overstatement. Their early singles in 2021 set the tone: direct, energetic, and anchored in everyday lyrics that land with clarity.

This in-store set puts the focus on the band’s collective dynamic, the kind of interplay they’ve honed in small rooms and sweatbox venues. Expect tracks from Elsewhere, Always to sit naturally alongside the material that first carried them beyond the Birmingham scene, with the same straight-ahead writing and a pulse made for the stage. Overpass play without frills, letting the hooks and the tempo do the work, and that approach suits the close quarters of Rough Trade East. A concise showcase for a record designed to be heard live, up close, and in the moment.
