we bring our celebration of 21 years of this absolute insanity to a close with a special night of live performances along with all the usual unusual of Stripped
Cyph_on
Born out of a number of previous electronic, industrial and neo goth projects, the band were founded during the lockdown years with their debut performance following in September 2023. Irish Dave, otherwise of Killing Miranda joined on bass in March 2025, further augmenting the depth of the sound. The second album, provisionally entitled Phobic International is due for release in late 2025 / early 2026.
All releases are available now on Spotify, Apple Music, itunes, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and Bandcamp, and there are links to all of these services on their website here:

OORYA
Words are insufficient to describe the artistic might that is an OORYA performance – just go and experience it for yourself. You may just find yourself asking yourself, “Who Am I?” as you’re chanting “Who Are Ya!?” (RGM 23’)
Frank Zappa once said that writing about music is like dancing to architecture, and trying to put into words exactly what to expect from OORYA would be like choreographing intricate interlocking moves for an entire nation's worth of people based on an M.C.Escher construction viewed through a kaleidoscope. elements of folk, electropunk, deep thought and introspection, ferocity and rallying cries of positivity, growth fusion and evolution - OORYA is an experience we all need before the final day
