BAR ITALIA^UK

With equal parts mystery, coolness, and an ability to combine the dreamy and the noisy in dazzling songs, London band Bar Italia has quickly become a hyped name in the alternative music world.

Several prominent media outlets have hailed the trio as one of the hottest names right now, and they have quickly moved from cult name to rising indie stars. Since 2020 a series of releases on Dean Blunt's World Music label have earned them devoted fans. In 2023, Bar Italia were signed to the esteemed alternative label Matador, and since then the prolific trio have released two excellent albums within a year.

On both albums they demonstrate their exquisite ability to create quirky and atmospheric songs that delve into alternative music history, but still come up with an original expression characterized by post-punk, grunge, dream pop and slacker rock.

Live, the band has also enchanted audiences with their cool and almost hypnotic appearance, lifted by their dreamy and hazy vocals. So if you want to experience one of today's strongest alternative guitar-driven music acts, there is a very good reason to check in at Bar Italia.
