To celebrate 10 years of their debut album ‘A Dream Outside’, Gengahr are heading to vital grassroots venues across the country, including a stop-off at RMH on Friday 4th April!The band create effortlessly smooth and melodic indie-rock that meanders along a laidback sun-kissed path. With a sound that could easily stem from influences drawn from icons such as The Smiths and Modest Mouse, to the more recently revered Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Youth Lagoon, the music feels utterly timeless and yet genuinely refreshing…
“A remarkable debut. Just when Gengahr look to be settling into a rhythm, they showcase something different” – DIY (5 star review)
London-based alternative rock quartet Gengahr was formed by friends studying at the Stoke Newington School in Hackney. Comprising bassist Hugh Schulte, drummer Danny Ward, and guitarists Felix Bushe and John Victor, the group was initially called RES, but switched to Gengahr when the bandmembers discovered another group already had the same name.
In 2014, Gengahr recorded a demo that circulated widely, and the band quickly caught the ears of fans, promoters, and radio programmers. Their debut album, A Dream Outside, surfaced in 2015 via Transgressive Records and gathered rave reviews nearly across the board for its dark take on dreamy shoegaze and updated approach to British-bred indie rock. The band promoted the record on a nationwide and European tour before getting to work on their sophomore effort. The record — titled Where Wilderness Grows — arrived in late 2017.
They returned in 2020 for their third LP, Sanctuary. Released independently, the record saw the London four-piece return to their original D.I.Y. approach
“Colourful, honest, feel-good indie through and through” – When The Horn Blows
