molloy

Paris, summer 2005. "Let's write a pop song." Surviving on a diet of John Hughes, John Waters and David Lynch movies, it's in their tiny parisian appartment that Jez and Caz perfected the recipe for their dirty-minded angular-electro-pop-rock. Accompanied by Chaz and Toz, they chose a moniker in fitting with their green and orange attire: Molloy was thus born. London, Summer 2007. Many pop songs later, the now Shoreditch-based Molloy released their first single, Tracy (Way Out Records), to critical acclaim and a digital mini album...

The Balconies

It’s a birds and the bees sort of question… Or maybe a chicken or the egg sort of question… What came first the rosined violin strings, major falls, classical theory or the smashed guitars, split finger tips and sweaty bodies? To see the Balconies play is nothing short of grasping at science. Even when placed down neatly in a Petri dish underneath thumbs and forefingers – the DNA-code of their infectious pop hooks interweaved with classical sensibility and theory is hard to discern.
