 MY PASSION are Laurence René (Vocals, Guitar), Jonathan Gaskin (Drums, Vocals, Electronics), John Be (Guitar) and Simon Rolands (Bass, Synth), four young men with a fearless, rebellious intention, DIY ethics and a genre-smashing electronic induced metallic punk sound. My Passion's story has only just begun but they are a band set to make 2009 their own…
Born two years ago in the leafy suburbs of Hertfordshire, My Passion have done what all good bands do – toured endlessly, racking up more than 400 shows to date. If there is one sure indication of how a band have struck a chord with their audience then look no further than the bands myspace – over 64,000 friends and over 900,000 plays and counting..
Keeping a fiercely independent spirit the band set up their own label Style Suicide Records and released a series of singles – “Tomorrow Girls” produced by Mark Williams (The Killers) sold out 2,000 run in a matter of weeks. Follow up “Booman” topped the indie store charts and then the band hooked up with John Mitchell (Enter Shikari, You Me At Six) for their summer single “Day Of The Bees” a boundary breaking release sold with their My Passion Fashion merchandise (the miniature cd becoming the t-shirts label). Alongside this the band played with the likes of The Automatic, Kill Hannah’s 36 European tour, The Camden Crawl, Robots In Disguise, The Faint, Late Of the Pier and support to a sold out tour by US pop cult act Jeffree Star.
“Thanks For Nothing”, the John Mitchell produced first single from the bands forthcoming coming album, shows a band at the height of their powers – driving rhythms and distorted guitar overlaid with electronic hooks and infectious vocals and melodies.
The band have supported the release of “Thanks For Nothing” with a full UK tour supporting Innerpartysystem (also included on bill is MC Rut).
