charades

Charades is a young Dutch band translating their most introspective thoughts into alternative dreamy music with a grungy emo twist. Bittersweet sounds combined with their apparent frustration results in dynamic and energetic rock shows. After forming in the summer of 2015 and slowly finding their musical identity the band released their debut EP “Grey Pillar Sky” in 2017. ‘’Grey Pillar Sky’’ mastered by Jesse Cannon (Basement, Brand New, Dillinger EscapePlan, Misfits) got the band a deal with Dutch record label White Russian Records (Call It Off, March, Slow Crush). The first responses to the new band’s material have been nothing but amazing - with attention coming from magazines all over the world. After the debut the band played venues like Paradiso, Tivoli, Q-Factory and appeared at multiple showcases around Eurosonic Noorderslag 2018 and 2019. Charades has been working together with renowned names like Sjoerd van der Knoop ( Face Tomorrow ) and Carsten Brunsveld ( John Coffey ). With their 2018 single ‘’Swoon’’, Charades showed their full potential in writing dynamic songs splitting the sea for their upcoming release, “Floating”. For their 2019 release “Floating”, they worked together with Belgium producer Michiel de Maeseneer ( Balthazar ). First single ‘’Spin Around’’ gave a first taste of the band’s new EP, once again released by White Russian Records. Online magazine All Things Loud’s description of the bands first single proved to be very spot on: ‘’This emo grunge banger is lathered in scuzzy guitars and echoed vocals, intricately bridging the gap between teenage angst and reckless abandon in a way only they know how’
