1st March 2013 sees the release of PYRAMIDS debut three track EP ‘Always Something’, which will be celebrated with their first gig – a headline performance at Hoxton’s Underbelly on the same date. Produced by Adam Noble (Muse, Placebo, Guillemots) and mastered by Dick Beetham, the man behind over 45 UK No.1 singles and alt-J, the band have been pushed further than ever before.
Uniting PYRAMIDS are their eclectic musical tastes, which cover everything from the acoustic subtleties of Laura Marling and Bon Iver to rock stadium fillers Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire. Meanwhile their mutual interest in dance music, spanning euphoric anthems through to the chilled electronic swagger of AlunaGeorge, infuses interesting elements into their music.
With a maturity beyond their years and a clear vision of where they want to go, the teen/early twenties foursome believe their anthemic choruses, twinned with relatable lyrics, will help them to create their own independent path. Their music is narrated by stories of love and life and its successes, trials and tribulations, but more interestingly highlight the frustrations of hindsight and regret.
‘We find in some tracks our lyrics play out things we have experienced but with the one difference being in the song, we do what we wished we had in real life. It’s like a second chance. In others we do the exact opposite and talk about the regrets and bad decisions we made.’ says vocalist Rich.
The band has already secured a high profile appearance at Hop Farm 2013, in the same slot Ben Howard played two years ago, which they hope will be the first of many summer announcements.
2013 is set to be a big year for the boys…
