BENCH // 23.59

BÆNCH is a young Danish rock band that explores an atmospheric and dynamic rock sound with international potential. Dark guitar elements, expressive synth surfaces and melodic and longing vocals create a grand, unpolished and authentic sound that fills a void in the Danish music scene.

The band released their debut EP "GO GO GO" on April 11. It contains six songs, five of which have been in radio rotation on P6. In addition, BÆNCH has received airplay on P3, Uniradioen, as well as internationally on Amazing Radio in New York and London, and on BBC1. On "GO GO GO", the band moves through different corners of their musical universe - from enormous energy discharges that hit the listener like a punch in the face, to more sonic, introspective and thoughtful moments. Danish music media and a number of international blogs point to BÆNCH as a rock name to keep an eye on.

In connection with the EP, BÆNCH embarked on an autumn tour with several sold-out concerts, which took them around Denmark, Germany, Norway and the UK, distributed across 10 venues. It is especially live that the band shows their strength, and their concerts have been praised by both critics and music media. They proved this, among other things, at Roskilde Festival, where GAFFA gave them 5 stars, at Spot Festival where Soundvenue highlighted BÆNCH as one of the absolute highlights, and at the Norwegian festival by:Larm where GAFFA Norway gave them 5 stars.

BÆNCH consists of Frederik Rasmussen (vocals, guitar), Emil Harboe (drums), Thea Hamborg (keys, synth, bass, vocals) and Alfred Leisgaard (guitar, bass, synth).
