POZI<\/a> are a South London trio composed of Toby Burroughs (drums\/vocals), Rosa Brook (violin\/vocals) and Frank Lindsay (bass\/vocals). They are purveyors of tense, propulsive indie pop that strips away guitars in favour of churning violin, tightly wound bass and urgent, tumbling rhythms.<\/p>\n

Emerging with the politically charged minimalism of \u2018PZ1\u2019 and evolving through the more expansive, textural world of \u2018Smiling Pools\u2019, their music balances philosophical weight with wiry energy and dark humour, shifting from direct confrontation to a more ambiguous, impressionistic take on modern anxiety. Following \u2018Smiling Pools\u2019, the band have developed a new body of work that pushes their previous album\u2019s emotive landscape into more direct and playful territory, now being performed live as they continue to stretch beyond the post-punk tag and into something more exploratory.<\/p>\n

POZI have a skittish, restless energy that draws on influences such as Devo, Wire and Television. Despite being playlisted on BBC Radio 6 Music and championed by Iggy Pop, Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq, Marc Riley (\u201cNothing short of absolutely brilliant live\u201d) and Huw Stephens, as well as their contemporaries like Idles, Squid and Sleaford Mods, they still feel like an underground secret. However, the band set about changing that with their brilliant second album, \u2018Smiling Pools\u2019, which received rave reviews from Uncut Magazine and more, praised for fusing Britpop sensibilities with baroque punk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Live, the band have played shows all over the UK, toured with Warmduscher and appeared at festivals like Latitude, End of The Road, Green Man, Wide Awake and The Great Escape Festival.<\/p>\n

POZI have announced a select 8-date September tour which will witness them rockin\u2019 on up in Norwich, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester, London, Bristol, Oxford and here in Brighton courtesy of Love Thy Neighbour<\/a> promoters who are bringing the trio\u00a0 to perform live at the Green Door Store<\/a> on Thursday 24th September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"Prayer Tech<\/p>\n

Also appearing on the whole tour are Prayer Tech<\/a> \u00a0which is a new project featuring current and past members of Pozi, Keg and Blue Bendy. Drawing from the sounds of emo, post-hardcore and psychedelia, the 3 mutate clashing opposites together, sincerity and pretence, open guitar and discordant bass riffs. Their first album is set to be released this year, recorded at Crypt Studios, the sound is raw yet ethereal in places, at once immediate but also not afraid of a euphoric chorus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
