Notowns

Νotowns started as a duet based in Athens and Piraeus in 2021, a remedy for quarantine boredom and disorientation, but soon emerged into a 3-piece band and a highly addictive bad habit. Their sound is a rough mix of neurotic disco and dysfunctional post punk, inspired by abandoned supermarket trolleys, sunbaked rooftops, screaming alarm clocks and deformed waiting queues. With a luxurious but overlooked past in the local punk scene, the Notowns idiosyncrasy is rooted in the diy ethics, which is clearly evident in the way they write and record their songs, design their covers and videos. Their debut album Joyride, self recorded, mixed and produced, consists of a strong dose of hard-hitting drum machines, face melting basslines and guitars, with a cup of analog synth elements and vitriol lyrics with a pinch of salt on top. Τheir debut album Joyride will be released this spring by Inner Ear.
