Gender Roles (UK)

Forming after a chance initial meeting at drummer Jordan Lilford’s Brighton Pride party in 2015, Gender Roles, also consisting of guitarist/vocalist Tom Bennett and bassist Jared Tomkins, found that Brighton’s DIY scene was the ideal hub to cut their teeth and encourage their growth as a band. The inspiration and ethos they could draw on in those early days has been integral to the act they’ve become.

The band released two EPs so far, 2017’s Planet X-Ray and 2018’s Lazer Rush. While the theme for those EPs was “overcoming the past and looking forward to the future together”, the new debut album, PRANG, focuses on much more immediate issues, coming somewhat surprisingly from what was a particularly happy place for Gender Roles.

After selling out most of their Fall tour throughout the UK, the band brings their new record to Europe!
