Bands You Should See #9: FM Belfast
Boy have we got a treat for you today, and it comes in the synth-ridden form of Icelandic electro band FM Belfast. Okay, so their arrival to the music scene may not be hot off the press (having been around for a couple of years), but these kids are definitely worth bringing out into the open.
They play solid down tempo electro, and have knocked out a few decidedly interesting covers on their album ‘How To Make Friends’. Now maybe it’s just me, but you have got to be either incredibly brave or incredibly arrogant if you decide to cover Rage’s ‘Killing In The Name Of’; yet these guys have completely transformed the tune into a barely recognisable indie-electro anthem.
It seems there is nothing these bow-tie sporting guys can’t do, as they record, master and mix all their music themselves, and even create their own album artwork. Lucky for you, what started as an exclusively studio band soon developed into a live act. Catch them at the Hoxton Bar & Grill on March 2nd. See you there.
