Emerging in late 2019, it didn’t take long for the London and Manchester group REAVE to establish themselves on the popular music streaming platform Spotify. The self released debut single ‘Get to know Me’ has so far become a fan favorite, with streams to date comfortably into the millions. Eager to keep up momentum, the synth-pop trio released their energetic second single ‘Arms Length’ in 2020, bagging the band their first spin on BBC Music introducing. With five singles already under their belt, the band are set to release more material throughout 2022 and beyond.
Blending classic reverbed guitar, nostalgic synths, and punchy electronic drums, it’s no secret REAVE’s sound has been influenced from the 1980’s pop revolution, but far from a tribute; the band have captured a fresh take on the era by combining modern vocal styles and current music production techniques. This unique balance has allowed the band to write in a wide range of styles, while fundamentally retaining what makes them stand out.
Having already sold out crowds in some of the country’s most well known venues, including Manchester’s Night and Day Cafe, Brixton’s Hootananny, an appearance at El Dorado 2022 gave the band their eagerly awaited festival debut.
