Bengal Lancers have always aimed to write songs to make you think and feel. That much is obvious from their live shows: Moments shared among friends. They’re a band whose fifth member will always be the audience.

There’s a feeling that 2018 was only the tip of the iceberg for the band: A year that has seen the four piece support the likes of Cassia, while taking to stages across the UK with a series of well-received headline shows, not to mention spending four weeks as part of Spotify's Hot New Bands playlist.The song writing grew at the same pace, tackling difficult subjects but always with a sense of optimism. Much like their shows, it’s a rally cry of support – a sense of solidarity that comes from the knowledge that we’re all in this together.

They go into 2019 armed with a new catalogue of music and a sense that this year could be the start of something.
