Death to the Strange
Death to the Strange are a staunchly independent band hailing from Salford and Manchester, UK. Their reputation for intelligent songcraft and raucous live performances are making them a firm favourite with music lovers across the board.
The band's distinctive style spans genres to create an instantly memorable brand of alternative tunes. Fronted by two songwriters, Death to the Strange's distinct and complementary voices engage social and philosophical issues over sounds ranging from indie to psychedelia to skiffle.
In a world full of over-production and spoon-fed, manufactured pop acts; here is a band proud to rely on a refreshing homegrown approach to their music.
With an unrefined, acoustic set up (which features the'cajon', an unusual peruvian box drum), Newrising's strong instrumental ability is intertwined with hypnotic three part harmony to produce an uplifting, organic sound.
Drawing influence from a massive musical spectrum, Newrising combine elements of funk, roots, urban soul, reggae, blues, rock and latin. A distinctive sense of musical character resides throughout their infectious, danceable, well-sculpted songs.
From the North West to the South Coast, settling in London via Australia, Zoe Konez is a force of well-travelled, indefinable acoustica.
As an inimitable guitarist exploring experimental open tunings and innovative playing techniques, Zoe brings us her unique twist of indie-folk. Through sharp lyrical acumen Zoe shares a tender balance of insightful personal introspection and keen observations on life. Her instinctive connection between word sounds and melodic pattern is woven through cross genre, open songwriting styles and delivered through confident command of her instruments voice and guitar.
