ĠENN + GREY FLX at The Lanes
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry / PWYC! Mighty, mercurial Brighton quartet merging elements of punk, jazz and Maltese folk with big rumblings of nu metal. All propelled by unsettling sprechgesang, they sound like Life Without Buildings reanimated as neo-psych. Raw fun FFO: black midi, BODEGA, Black Country New Road, Grandma’s House, ARXX."

Formed on the island of Malta, Brighton-based / Anglo-Maltese outfit ĠENN is: Janelle Borg – guitars (she/her), Sofia Rosa Cooper – drums (she/they), Leona Farrugia – Vocals (she/they), and Leanne Zammit – bass (she/her).

ĠENN is a self-described sisterhood founded on instinctive trust and an experimental collision of multinational backgrounds, with Maltese, British, Jamaican and Portuguese roots represented across its four members.

Their bold geographic move was mirrored by their 2023 debut unum - an album celebrated as a bold journey through experimental rock, post-punk and Mediterranean folk. Notable press / radio acclaim arrived from BBC6, KEXP, Pitchfork, The Independent, Loud & Quiet, CLASH, Under the Radar, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, with a collaborative video for single The Sister Of also achieved a UK Music Video Award nomination.

It’s little surprise that this has led to diverse invitations onto an international stage, appearing at renowned showcase festivals such as Eurosonic (NL) and The Great Escape (UK), alongside tours with Sub Pop Noise Rock heavyweights METZ, burgeoning post-punkers Deadletter and global art collective Pussy Riot.
