You need Self Help!

loud crunchy synthy doomy cynical noise

Hailing from Oxford, England, Self Help are a five-piece who create a sound as blistering as it is off-kilter. The band first came together in 2018 sharing a love for a diverse, experimental approach to making music. Self Help create art strictly on their own terms and, in turn, challenge the listener throughout. Indeed, their unforgettable performances leave a lasting effect on music lovers far and wide, with three frontmen often taking turns to lead the charge.

Following a short, self-imposed, break from the playing music, Self Help returned in 2022 with their uncompromising sound enveloping their peers into a sonic-euphoric, semi-doomscape or, as the band have coined, vroomscape! This led to a number of festival appearances and airplay on BBC 6 Music as well as support slots with the likes of Squid, Goat Girl, The Murder Capital and Animal House.

Hot on the heels of their latest single ‘Enrage Engage’, Oxford five-piece Self Help return with the raucous I Want You All To Myself. The band continue to showcase the diversity of their expansive sound from track to track, illustrating why the likes of BBC 6 Music, The Vinyl District, Fortitude Magazine and many more have supported their music.

The new album is packed full of post-punk energy and is a result of Self Help’s ironic displeasure at seeing the modern world in the state that it’s currently in.
