From the family shed to making mosh pits for fun

Available for over a year

The band Pentire is a Ross-on-Wye four piece, who make songs for the smiles and sweat of the mosh pits they make, up and down the country. They say they lived their school lives as unpopular kids with a distaste for maths, and have grown from making a racket in guitarist Owen Seymour's mum’s shed in Herefordshire to selling out venues all over the country. We love their music so much they’ve played for us at Kidderminster Town Hall, Lakefest at Eastnor Castle, and given their tracks to BBC 6Music and Radio 1, where DJs Steve Lamacq and Jack Saunders are now massive fans. From 2023, backstage at Hereford Indie Food Festival, the group tell BBC Hereford & Worcester's Phillip Stoneman about their matching tattoos, their BBC Introducing journey to date, and how they've mastered the art of curating a mosh pit.
