THE SERFS

THE SERFSEmerging like a missile from some surreptitious silo in southwestern Ohio, The Serfs are a deliberately nebulous and incidentally industrialist gang of dance-floor hymners-- perturbed and tranced-out troubadours whose sound and musical ideology seems to be a causal manifestation of their immediate environments--hard-wired and hypnotic synthesized melodies propel alongside churning and scraping percussion of every metallic tonality--with temperamental and eremitic words and voices dictating the forlorn venture. Like their Ohio predecessors, The Serfs seem askew from the art that surrounds them, and proud of it. For fans of: Crime of Passing, The Drin, Club Musicsupport act: badtimebadtime (The Hague, NL) was born in 2020 as a visual art collaboration between Kevin Schuit and Ioana Ciora. It quickly grew into a multi-disciplinary universe of its own. What can be seen as the soundtrack to their drawings is sinister and gloomy yet energetic and dancy, incorporating electronic drum beats, pulsating bass lines, hypnotic synths and driving punk guitars.
