Creating a flowing motion mix of synthpop and electropop, Northern European band Audience Killers have roots that can be traced to the childhood friendship of lead singer Normunds (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Arletta (backing vocals, keyboards). In 2009, they began writing and playing songs together. Early the following year, they went into the studio for live sessions, where Edgars became their drummer.
Having formed in 2010, the trio swiftly released their first 2 songs. Their music features bright piano, melodic guitar, quaint falsetto vocal and warm synths used throughout the songs, fitting with its buoyant, shore-crashing feel. All amalgamated with a sincere calling towards the dancefloor – but not quite.
Residing in Riga, Latvia, the band released their debut EP Footprints And Hearts in July 2012. After debut release Audience Killers has performed at several major festivals as well as dozens of smaller venues, TV, radios and most bizarre places in Europe for past 3 years.
Audience Killers began working on new material in October 2015 at their own newly built loft studio Trii House. Today, trio return, with the news of their first full-length album Floating Islands.
