Few bands are as capable of being as direct and effective as Dancehall. The London/Kent-based trio, who formed in 2016, run on a mix of egoless ambition which has seen the band relentlessly self-release a collection of singles bristling with distorted energy via cassette tapes and 7" records on their own Vibe/Anti-Vibe label.
Dancehall work completely collaboratively, each member bringing ideas together and working on the songs at their practice space in Limehouse to create a sound that represents their musical heroes influence on the members: from DIY punk trailblazers Fugazi and the harnessed noise of Sonic Youth, to the driving melancholy of LCD Soundsystem and the less-cited catchy balladry of the B-52s and Blur.
