Amplify - Harsh Language / Lewis Knaggs

About the event

Amplify new music nights are events dedicated to showcasing and supporting up-and-coming musicians. They provide a platform for artists to perform their original music and gain exposure to a wider audience. HARSH LANGUAGE ‘Harsh Language’ are three friends in London who combine the grit of guitar bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Oceansize and Placebo with the electronic noise and melancholy of acts such as Depeche Mode, Idiot Pilot and 65daysofstatic—creating something that is frenetic, familiar but, importantly, unique. Harsh Language subvert what a modern alternative hard rock band can be, using big riffs, emotive harmonies and hectic electronica to provide a live show that is moving, impactful, and impressively loud.LEWIS KNAGGSLewis Knaggs is a British singer, songwriter, musician and filmmaker.
