"One of the best little venues in London" Evening Standard The Line up Still Traffico Mancunian school friends Cam (lead vocals/guitar), Dan (lead guitar),and Connor (drums) formed Still Traffico in London in 2023. Dan?s friend, erm?Dan, has since joined on bass. Influenced by everything from Chanson Française storytelling to Michael Head to African desert blues to contemporary house to post-rock, post-punk and more, Still Traffico make a fine blend of indie pop; they call it Railway Pop. Debut single ?Seagull? is about someone lying down in their lunchbox-sized flat staring at the mouldy back wall and the fruit flies over their head which, oddly, remind them of seagulls soaring above the Norfolk seaside. https://122musicmanagement.com/still-traffico Victor & The New Vintage R. Victor Williams has successfully helm the role as main songwriter, producer and frontman of the rock fusion project Liontribe. VICTOR is his solo music project which focuses on exploring the cross fusions of HipHop-Funk-Rock and Reggae-Grunge with drum & bass undertones while allowing for a style that remains accessible due to its catchy hooks and in your face vocal delivery over melodic guitar rifts and dynamic ryhthmic patterns . Liontribe Review "Particularly on ?Let?s Talk Again,? singer Rodney Victor Williams explodes, as if the mere melody can?t contain his energy." VICTOR & THE NEW VINTAGE - The first single 'You Are Beautiful' funky Soulrock single - "Liontribe?s LOVE & ROCK & ROLL album was alive with fresh ideas and unexpected twists and turns, so it?s no surprise that lead singer Victor?s solo debut would surprise and excite in so many of the ways. His first single ?You Are Beautiful? draws a straight line between Prince and Jeff Buckley with touches of dreampop and Motown hanging around the edges. His falsetto croon hangs above the ecstatic garage jangle, pleading for love. The song holds tension between the jazz chords and the insistent drums like so many butterflies. Stay tuned for the full EP." AFROPUNK In an era where music has become overtly formulaic, artist such as VICTOR keep an edge of authenticity that is unique and hard hitting, refreshingly dynamic and thought provoking. He is an artist to watch out for!
