Awash

Band, NL

The music of these five men from Breda/Tilburg/R'dam (The Netherlands) comprises a wide variety of beautifully completed semi -acoustic pop/rock songs that each tell an own story. Sometimes lively, sometimes melancholic, but fascinating in both the small and the large. Lyrically, fragile, always brought with full dedication and energy that is contagious on everyone who beholds them. The band is unique in its kind, due to the powerful voice of the singer and fretless bass sound of the bass player (ex - Jane Doe). During live performances at the 3FM shows 'Nachtegiel' and 'Ekdom in de nacht' Awash was compared with bands as Editors, Racoon and REM, but the strong unique sound is preserved. In 2011 the EP 'Inner Drive' came out and received rave reviews. "...the drive of this second ep suggests that there are a lot of beautiful things about to happen. That can hardly go unnoticed, because Awash, with this repertoire and this sound, is just too good for that. " (source : musicfrom.nl ) In 2013 Awash meets and exceeds these expectations with the debut album 'Turn The Lights', released on Record Store Day. The album 'Turn The Lights' can be seen as a diary, numbers written in the train, thoughts on the way to a destination. A search for happiness... The fanatical drive to make music brought Awash already at various festivals and larger Dutch music venues such as 013, Mezz, Lakei and Bibelot; and as a support act for James Walsh and Krystl. They shared their passion for more than 100 times with the audience in the most unusual places. This has already led to many memorable experiences, of which hopefully many will follow.
