Eat the Evidence is a five-piece band formed in Kennishead Avenue by lifelong friends Garry McDevitt and Eddie Hyland. The group begins as a jamming project among friends, writing crude songs about offensive subjects before settling on the name Eat The EVIDENCE.

Formation and early material

The band starts with McDevitt and Hyland writing together and developing songs through long periods of jamming. The first song they write together is The Month Of June, a story-based track about a middle-aged Tesco worker and a party encounter. Other early songs include Beast With a Tan, Inch of Jed and Magic Moses.

Name and lineup

Before adopting their current name, the group considers the name Sawney Bean after hearing the story of the Scottish robber and cannibal. The band later changes lineup several times and ends up as a five-piece with an all-female rhythm section.

Work in the studio

The band records in the studio to revisit its older songs and develop new ideas that have been building over time.
