woon

About

Taking their name from the Dutch; meaning home, abode or domicile, woon was built as a sanctuary for those who reside in it. Built upon the foundations of previously (and current) well-loved alternative rock bands from Hastings (<a href="spotify:artist:3eSosW9FzseZCXQjpFCURG" data-name="Forever Home">Forever Home</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5k3NPFQRBwTY9lzkSc1vZY" data-name="Somnians">Somnians</a>, Blabbermouth, Dory the Wise) they have quickly become a household name in the U.K.’s south-east independent music scene. Blending their love of obscure American indie, grunge and nineties slacker rock, as well as a subtle nod towards the mid-west’s serious pop sensibilities, the quartet create a sense of familiarity that still manages to sound fresh. Their debut single &#39;Pet Names&#39; was lauded as &#34;a deliciously grungey gem&#34; (BBC Introducing), &#34;an instant hit&#34; (Rock Era Magazine), &#34;a captivating alt-rock success&#34; (Obscure Sound) and &#39;the start of something magical&#34; (It&#39;s All Indie), amongst other high praise. Dark and fuzzed up guitars set the tone for their brooding debut E.P. ‘Play Nice’, whilst in quite a contrast, their latest offering ‘432 HURTZ’ suggests a much more optimistic follow-up for the second E.P., ‘PURE FUCKIN’ JOY FOREVER’. With the addition of a new member and, seemingly, a new outlook on life. written by Harry Lebowski
