NOPRISM
New single "Animosity"
Like Duran Duran and The Human League arm-wrestling with Chvrches and Justice, NOPRISM join together the forces of new wave with synthwave and put them on steroids. Formed last year in the midst of the pandemic, the band have come to specialise in addictive, ground-breaking electronic pop destined for the dancefloors of the future.
In spite of the limitations of lockdown, word about NOPRISM is proving uncontainable. With their single 'Pantherbeat' catching the ear of Radio 1's Jack Saunders, previous release 'Happiness' was also championed by Duran Duran's Simon LeBon as 'perhaps the best new song ever'. A testament to their confident sound, before forming NOPRISM members have notched-up notable achievements with previous projects including sessions at Maida Vale for BBC Radio 1 and interviews for both Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe, alongside an MTV tour with Editors and festival appearances at Reading/Leeds and Wireless Festival.
Restricted from performing during the last 18 months, the quartet finally cut their teeth with their first ever live show at Little Buildings, Newcastle in Summer 2021 to a sell-out crowd. Using the time away from the live stage to arm themselves with a clutch of powerfully persuasive retro-futuristic masterworks, this is only the beginning for NOPRISM. With new single, “Animosity”, out yesterday , expect much more to come from the North East’s most promising new band.
NOPRISM are: Andrew Young, Mark Nelson, Phil Taylor and Alex Hindle.
