Angel Grindr

"AN INDUSTRIAL PUNK BAND. LOUD. ALL ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS BUT 50% OF US DON’T TAKE THEM. YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. SYDNEY AIN’T GOT NONE OF THESE NEW PEOPLE, JUST LITTLE CHEWED NIPPLES. I’D LOVE TO SPIT DOWN YOUR STREET."

Angel Grindr is an industrial punk band based in Sydney, regularly performing in venues around the inner west of Sydney. With their debut album on the way, Angel Grindr sports an abrasive presence, influenced by the likes of Einsturzende Neubauten, Pussy Galore, Captain Beefheart and Albert Ayler. With Louis Wishart on co-lead vocals and Bass Guitar, the band also features Clancy Reynolds on co-lead vocals, prepared guitar and clarinet, alongside Hayley Chan on scrap metal percussion and Bon Lowe on drum set. With a heavy presence of scrap metal, car parts and fire extinguishers treated with guitar pedals, Angel Grindr combines compact punk song structures with lo-fi, grungy avant-garde timbres. Angel Grindr have recently been commissioned by Backstage Music to prepare a set for their upcoming concert series alongside world-class classical vocalists Jane Sheldon and Anna Fraser, where they will perform a live soundtrack to the film “Palindrome” (1969), dir. Hollis Frampton.
