Concrete Knives

Some may see them as the worthy heirs to the B-52s, while others will find in their music a flavour of the early naughties New York music scene.Fronted by both male and female leads, with strong and distinctive vocal style,
Concrete Knives is an anthem machine for you to chant to in unison.Their compositions dusted off Dad's vinyl records, incorporating new tones where vintage keyboards and organs fly through syncopated rhythm sections.
This is indeed fresh music, carrying clean and well balanced textures. This is the scraping of a knife on concrete, a creative rupture wholly aroused by an exciting and innovative new band. On stage, Concrete Knives resuscitate the ghosts of the eighties with great energy, creating an inventive mixture of sunny pop.

With a frst EP "You can't blame the youth" out in April. A publishing deal with Warner Chappell and AKA publishing.
