Since they formed in 2018, Brighton’s PROJECTOR has stubbornly gone their own way. Bringing angular industrial drum machines to hook-laden alt-rock, and lush melody to frenzied post-punk, the band have never hesitated to prioritise sonic breadth and an experimental attitude to pop. It’s this confidence in craft that has led them to tour Europe with rock giants Cleopatrick while simultaneously haunting the airplay of BBC Radio 6’s left field Steve Lamacq and Amy Lamé shows.
PROJECTOR deals in nuance of expression and the true insanity and grit of modern life, psyche and politics. With the same attitude to recording, PROJECTOR has kept a firm grip over their creative output by producing and recording themselves for the last few years. PROJECTOR’s debut album ‘NOW WHEN WE TALK IT’S VIOLENCE’ moves effortlessly between artful derangement, aggression and the pop hooks that have regularly seen the band gatecrash the mainstream rock scene. The band’s tightly wound intensity drives the album with the strange fervour of early Pixies that reflects the energy of their live show.
