ĠENN

As befitting a band who take their name from the Maltese word for frenzy, ĠENN thrive amongst chaos. “Craziness follows us,” laughs lead singer Leona Farrugia. Jokes aside, it’s this unique outlook and tight-knit gang mentality that make ĠENN such a thrilling musical proposition. March’s "Liminal EP" saw Leona, guitarist Janelle Borg, bassist Leanne Zammit and drummer Sofia Rosa Cooper contrasting searing post-punk missives with more allusive meditations cocooned in psychedelic textures. Key reference points for the record included Baxter Drury, Metronomy, LCD Soundsystem and Captain Beefheart – as well as the band’s most enduring inspirations, Warpaint.
