The discography of Black Country, New Road, an English experimental rock group, [1] consists of three studio albums, one live album, two extended plays, twelve singles, and six music videos. The band was formed in 2018 [2] in Cambridge by Tyler Hyde, Lewis Evans, Georgia Ellery, May Kershaw, Charlie Wayne, and Isaac Wood. [3] Within the South London music scene, they often performed at the Brixton Windmill venue [4] and quickly gained attention for their live shows and early recordings. [5] Their discography has achieved critical and commercial success, particularly in the United Kingdom. [6]
Black Country, New Road released their debut single, "Athens, France", in January 2019 through the independent label Speedy Wunderground. [7] In early 2019, Luke Mark joined Black Country, New Road as a second guitarist, expanding the band to seven members. [8] Later that year, they issued a second single, "Sunglasses". Both tracks quickly attracted critical attention for their experimental style and eclectic blending of genres, [9] contributing to the band's early cult following. [10] Physical editions of the singles became sought after by collectors, with some reportedly resold for over £ 100. [5] In October 2020, the band signed with the English record label Ninja Tune. [11] On 5 February 2021, the band released their debut album, For the First Time. The album was met with critical acclaim [12] and charted in many different countries, notably debuting at number four on the UK Albums Chart, and it became their first number-one release on the UK Independent Albums Chart. [13]
Their second studio album, Antsfrom Up There, was released on 4 February 2022, just four days after Isaac Wood's departure. [14] The album marked the band's highest commercial success, debuting at number three on the UK Albums Chart, [13] and charting in more countries than their previous releases. Following this, the band released their first live album, Live at Bush Hall , recorded during three performances in December 2022, which showcased a new set of material written after Wood's departure. [15] The album peaked at number 92 on the UK Albums Chart. [13] Their third studio album, Forever Howlong, was released on 4 April 2025 to critical acclaim. [16] It debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart. [13] The album also charted internationally, reaching number 16 in Germany, [17] 22 in Australia, [18] and 135 on the United States Billboard 200, marking their first appearance on that chart. [19]
