Feral Family's New EP 'So Far Behind' Is A Six-Tracked Indie Rock Triumph

Indie trio Feral Family’s sophomore EP So Far Behind, released on February 6th, strikes a balance between raw, riff-driven intensity and moments of vulnerability. Across the six tracks, the band delivers a sound that feels sharper, more assured, and emotionally open. The release is set to have a particular appeal to fans of Fontaines D.C., Foals, and IDLES.

Previously recognised by Apricot Magazine as “one of the most compelling new acts in UK alternative music,” the band were recently named Top Five finalists in a competition to support Only The Poets at their Brixton Academy show, chosen from thousands of entrants. This followed a runner-up award for Best Indie Band at Radio Wigwam’s annual awards and placement on KEXP’s playlist.

Produced by Liam Radburn and drawing inspiration from Frank Herbert and Sergio Leone, So Far Behind is powered by dynamic drum patterns and heavy guitar riffs throughout. Opener The Balance sets an immediate sense of urgency, while closing track Down In The Dirt lands with an impactive final punch. Taste Of Life is a standout track that showcases lead singer Jamie Lowe’s expressive range and emotional depth.

Jamie describes the EP as “more like a condensed album — six huge songs that we’re buzzing to deliver. There are some big, raw riffs in there, but the EP also peels back deeper layers of our sound.” He also credits new drummer Regan Grimson, whose arrival “brings even more heat to these tracks.”

Following a short hiatus after their 2023 debut album Without Motion, So Far Behind marks the beginning of an exciting new era for Feral Family. The band will celebrate the release with an EP launch show in London on February 6th, before heading north for further dates, including support slots with The Nightswimmers in Leeds and Avid Fan in Manchester.
