New music discovery night Do It Without You returns to Folklore, London on Tuesday 14th May with performances from Radio Free Alice, Filmore! and Half Happy.
With an operatic swagger and angular guitar driven sound, Melbourne’s Radio Free Alice emerged with an art school musical palette, painted from a suburban Australian canvas. Immediate and arresting rock arrangements from the 4-piece band meld with frontman Noah Learmonth’s distinctive yearning throaty vocal, harking to the stylings of Ian Curtis and Robert Smith. Guitars with clean tones and clever notes, melodic bass lines, urgent drum-beats, and the occasional sax translate the band’s DIY recordings to an energetic, charismatic live show from the young quartet.
"The explicitly fun lyrics draw instant comparison to old Tyler, The Creator" - EARMILK. Ireland’s Filmore! aims for excitement in his insane creations by melding juxtaposed genres in true punk fashion, all the while threading concepts and storylines through his music.
Half Happy plays around confidently with fun day dream vocals that stick to tight indie drums that thump below guitar riffs that walk the line between heavy and heavenly. It’s a running joke that isn’t getting old yet, they are way more than Half Happy.
