Baby Said

Debut album BS out today

Share video for ‘Dead To Me’

Hailing from the Portsmouth, Baby Said are made up of Italian/Punjabi sisters Veronica (20) and Jess (18) Pal whose musical journey began at a very young age. Releasing tracks one single at a time, debut album BS is out now and it’s about finding the power to speak up and inspiring others to do the same.

Veronica first picked up the acoustic guitar at the age of 6, inspired by a band of guitarists she saw at church. She pursued her passion for music by completing all her guitar exams up to grade 8, transitioning from classical guitar to electric guitar. Jess, on the other hand, started playing acoustic guitar at the age of 4, often playing alongside her sister. After experimenting with keyboards and piano, Jess was drawn to the bass guitar after watching the live performance of Måneskin at Sanremo in 2021.

Speaking of the video they said, “When we sat down with the director Tom Knibbs to discuss the video idea for ‘Dead To Me’ we decided that we should fake kidnapped and pretend to bury each other. As the sisters who definitely never argue, we both thought this was a great idea. We managed to get the use of a derelict Pub in Portsmouth called The Invincible which was being demolished as we arrived. We quickly filmed all the interior shots and headed down to Hayling Island beach to dig a grave, b what we didn’t realise was that just beneath the sand surface it was all stones and it took us about an hour to dig a hole big enough while the temperature dropped to minus 3 degrees

The hoods we wore were both painted with the I and Exclamation mark from our Baby Said Logo which was a fun way to give us both a different identity.”

Their journey as Baby Said was ignited after a summer of busking in 2021. Their talents were quickly recognised, and they were invited to play in local venues, leading to the birth of their covers band, AstroModa. In just two years, they have performed at over 250 gigs all over the country, building their confidence and skills to pursue their goal of writing, recording, and releasing their own original music.

Fresh off supporting U.S. rockers Dirty Honey on UK tour they were selected for The Great Escape Festival, Reading & Leeds, Live At Leeds, Victorious, Rebellion, Twisterella, and Loud Women. The band’s festival performances promise to further cement their place as one of the UK’s most exciting new rock acts.

Baby Said decided to record their album with Patch Boshell and Steven Battelle as they had already written three songs with them – ‘Mean Girlz’, ‘Dead To Me’ and ‘Hate Me’ – they knew they understood their vision. Recorded over a few months, they did live drums, bass and some guitars at the Puzzle Factory and the rest of the guitars and vocals at Patch’s studio, with the aim to maintain the rawness of the rock band they aspire to be.
