Industrial goth fused with powerful vocals and gritty electronics

The band has worked with top music producers Steve Whitfield (The Cure), John Fryer (NIN) and John Rivers (The Specials). Their three albums and EP have met with international critical acclaim. ‘Dead To The World’ and ‘The Blackout’ were both voted “Album of the Month” by popular German music magazine Dark Spy.

Def Neon (Mickey and Emily) met whist jamming at Vic Studios in Wrexham. They connected through a shared love of robots, cartoons, horror films and raving. These common passions brought the pair together, leading them to experiment with old Sequencers, Kaoss Pads, Samplers and Talk boxes. As such, Def Neon’s music is an eclectic and energetic mix of Rock, Dirty Electro and Bass Music; themselves describing their sound as Daft Punk crossed with Siouxsie Sioux, or Peaches meets Van Halen.

The band’s infectious sound and engaging performances across the UK have proved popular with live event organisers, industry-professionals and fans alike, leading to a number of high-profile support slots in addition to headline slots at events across the UK. The band signed to independent, Manchester-based Label Analoguetrash in early 2016, with their debut album released in November of that year. As well as receiving airplay across the globe, Def Neon have garnered the attention on BBC Introducing, who awarded the track ‘Nightvision’ as their Big Thing Record of the Week in Febraury 2018.

Last July are a UK based Dark Romantic band with a sound derived from a wide breadth of influences including Goth, New Romantic and Rock. Not inclined to restrict themselves to conforming within the boundaries of established dark genres, they blend dark atmospheres, catchy synths and driving guitars with passionate melodic vocals, moving between cold and calculating precision and organic grace. Our songs span the breadths of emotion from deep sorrow to upbeat optimism, and we guarantee you will be singing them to yourself for days afterwards!

Newly awakened from an eighteen month-long dormancy, Last July have stripped back down to their founder members, and are swiftly picking up their former pace!

Even Marilyn Manson has a monster under his bed. Witch of the East is that Monster.

A frontwoman who blatantly was born to be in the spotlight with lyric imagery rivalling that of the best horror movies.

Queen of Insecurity will be released 5th July 2019 through I’m Not From London Records.

Introducing, Aeris Houlihan’s solo project Witch of the East (ex Chambers). Harry Sutherland (Bass) and Michael McManus (Drums). After Aeris left Chambers late 2018 she decided to write a solo album.

The album titled (Queen of Insecurity) draws on the orgasmic din of Witchy, Grunge horror. A beautifully dark concept album that touches on industrial rock, grunge and dark pop. The combination is sure to terrify people.

“Witch of the East has no limits, no compromises. It’s an honest interpretation of your surroundings. A harsh but beautiful world! Being free to say what you really mean! No matter who is listening.”

Queen of Insecurity was recorded at Greenmount Studios in Leeds, UK. Partly produced by Aeris Houlihan, Lee Smith, Jamie Lockhart. Lee & Jamie have also produced Pulled Apart By Horses, The Cribs, Ellie Goulding to name a few.

Other musicians on the album include Medina Rekic (ex White Miles), Lee Smith (ex Middleman) and Morgan Pettigrew (Minatore).
