Bio

Visitors have emerged as one of the most exciting guitar/art pop bands of late 2012. The North London band combine sweeping chords and soaring synth melodies with the occasional spot of witty social commentary in the Great British Tradition (Ray Davies, Jarvis Cocker, Brett Anderson et al).

Formed last year, Visitors are Benjamin Gold on vocals and keys, Ricky Whybrow on guitar, Neil Barrett on bass, Alfie Tammaro on drums. The band came together via a shared dislike of indie landfill and the idea that guitars and pop music don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Currently working on their debut album, their songs explore suffocating love, self-scrutiny, aspiration and the after life – Hard Fi this is not. Memorable gigs so far include Pikes House in Ibiza for Ibiza Rocks, Proud Camden and Club Fandango.

Visitors debut single ‘Oxygen’ tells the story of a Jekyll and Hyde Prime Minister and a revolution to free the people from a country that pays to breathe. The video was directed by award-winning duo Row and Jack (Bombay Bicycle Club) and features cinematography from Ali Asad (Prodigy, Nick Cave, Massive Attack).
