Making music built for those venues where your feet stick to the floor, London-based alternative rap trio, Frozemode, have already been named by NME as one of their favourite live acts to see right now and a recommended as a must-see at this weekend’s Reading & Leeds Festival. Proving that they can bring equal energy to their studio releases, the trio drop their fourth single “Vermin”, which lands with another huge seal of approval from NME, with a full interview tipping the band as one of their ‘breakout’ artists – read here
Radiating a formidable vigour, whilst effortlessly preserving the distinctive, alternative style that characterises the group’s musical persona, “Vermin“, not only highlights their skillfulness in the rap genre but also resonates with their unique sonic fabric, as they creep further into the alternative realm.
Renowned for seamlessly weaving gritty rap verses into avant-garde production, Frozemode continue to etch their name as pioneers within the contemporary music landscape with each release.. In the words of the band members: “With our new single “Vermin” we have tried to give people something unexpected by jumping into new territory. It’s a trap / rock fusion with an eerie atmosphere; we want to take listeners on a journey creating a dynamic sound that’s as captivating as it is unsettling. As always we try and keep it raw and authentic. London is unfortunately no stranger to all types of vermin, and we are trying to rise above that but can’t help the fact that it’s changed our mindset.”
Gaining momentum as one of the most impressive live performers, Frozemode entered the year with next to no live feats to their name. They will end the year having supported Jelani Blackman, to later being invited to join his “Live & Direct” night at Fabric, alongside names such as Tiggs Da Author, Sam Gellaitry, Lauren Faith, Mushkilla, they would have taken to stages at 2000trees and Reading & Leeds Festivals, and embarked on a UK-wide tour with US favourites Joey Valance and Braae.
On the ground, the band already have the esteemed endorsement of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, who honoured them as ‘Next Wave’ artists on their debut single “Maybelline”. With additional nods of approval from Complex UK, The Line of Best Fit, Dork, Culted and Wonderland, who claimed “Frozemode have plausibly delivered one of the best UK hip-hop debut cuts in recent memory”, it comes as no surprise NME have already named them a ‘breakout’ artist, in under 12 months of their inception.
Already welcomed arms-wide-open by the pool of fellow risers, the trio recently collaborated with Brighton band NOISY on rowdy release, “THE MOTIVE” and will be joining them for the live launch of their “FAST FWD” mixtape in September.
