Currls are a three piece band from Brighton whose raw, upbeat and infectious music, wears its armour with a metallic coating of gusto glamour. They are an impressive band whose invigorating spirit and uncompromising energy knocks you sideways and dives into the DNA pools of Indie-Rock/Pop. Comprised of Holly on vocals/guitar, Jack on Bass and Hannah on additional vocals/drums, Currls are your bona-fide guitar band that captures the feisty, direct assertion of post-punk, the riot grrrl movement whilst pogo-jumping on the sonic-springs of 90s Brit-pop.
They are a breath of fresh air, whose outstanding vocals make them stand out amongst their peers and inject an intoxicating dose of sassy soul and vibrant vroom. They are the real deal, whose debut EP “Hello, My Name Is“, released in November 2022, has been selected as The Manc Review’s “EP Of The Month”. A fabulous EP, “Hello, My Name” Is is an intermix of anthemic, adrenaline-infused sing-a-long tracks, rumbling beats and angular riffs. It’s an EP that is a fervent fluidity of combatant camaraderie that delivers with a robust showmanship and preens from the shadows of glam-rock.
It’s also an EP that revives the wheels of Garage Rock, and swerves and collides with the debris of jangly-pop. There is something very playful, grounded and charismatic about Currls. They are quietly outspoken, intellectually introspective and effortlessly reach out to their audience with a real sense of solidarity, sensitivity and warmth. As a debut EP, “Hello, My Name Is” instantly gets you hooked and engaged in their world of astute observations, wry humour and frank honesty. Lyrically fierce, Currls are accomplished song-writers that resonates and connects on a multitude of levels. As a trio, Currls sure know how to ignite the majestic mayhem of music that throws you in head-first, thrashing and throbbing down the timelines of melodic-rock, whilst bobbing between the riotous riffs of punk.
Along with the happy-go-lucky harmonies, spiked basslines and staccato strums, Currls vibrate on the electric currents of 70s new-wave, whilst reverberating with the razor riffs of funk-metal. As a band, Currls are an eclectic mix of earthy grit and cathartic confrontations that pulsate from the heartbeat of punchy post-punk. As a vocalist, Holly ticks all the boxes, and whose honey vocals, looping acrobatics and solid strums are a melting pot of sunshine soul and unhinged passion that lingers with a intangible sensuality. She is an amazing talent, a front woman that stays true to herself, who shakes and stirs, whilst reorganising the chaos of the cosmos. In terms of talent, Holly is a stellar singer that shines from the shadows of melancholy and projects an unfaltering wave of positive energy. Along with the versatile basslines and robust beats, “Hello, My Name Is” is an EP that revives the DIY ethos of alternative rock and adds a super-charged exuberance of other-worldly soul.
Following the success of their debut EP, “Hello, My Name Is” Currls have been busy in the studio working on new material as well as supporting Brit-pop legends Sleeper on their summer tour. They have also appeared on numerous radio stations including the BBC Introducing in Sussex and Surrey with Amy Lame, which is testament to their talent and growing fanbase.
