We Are Explode The TV

Explode The Tv are an explosive indie-rock band with catchy hooks and searing live performances.  Their music balances thundering bass riffs, driving rhythms, addictive melodies with sparkling dreampop-shoegaze textures. ​The band’s sound has been described as a 90’s inspired infectious mix of Brit-pop, post-punk, new wave, indie-power pop.

​​

2025/6 has seen the band working on a new album with producer Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard whose credits include Gene Loves Jezebel, The Alarm, Archive, Mock Turtles, Robbie Williams, The Mescaleros and The Boomtown Rats. The album is due for release in Autumn 2026 and contains 10 tracks.
