Band of Phantoms have played together in Dresden since 2021, five musicians from Dresden, Nottingham and Croydon. Big melodies, a driving rhythm section and a three-guitar attack add up to a wall of sound that's heavy and light at once. They've shared stages with New Model Army, King Buffalo and Dirty Honey, and the live show is where it all makes sense.

    “A dark rush, a feverish pull. The Sisters of Mercy wrestle with Joy Division for heaven and hell. What sounds like London, New Mexico or Palm Desert comes from Dresden.”
    DJ Cramer, on As the Gods Are Falling
