Биография

DRONNINGEN is the creation of Beatrice Bonnano (vocals/guitar) and Vito Cerasia (lead guitar), both originally from Italy who met in South-East London in 2014, where they are still based. Since uniting their energy, craft and imagination, the duo has bred an electro-rock/alt-pop fuelled sound which has been eagerly welcomed around the globe, the pair playing numerous festivals in the likes of the UK, Sweden, France and India. Since releasing the ‘Carry on Dancing’ EP in their first year, the twosome has persistently evolved their music and its fertile imagination. It has a richness and miscellany which defiantly defies that simple electro-pop/rock tagging creating a proposal which uses its audience’s body as a plaything, hungrily enticing and manipulating them into unleashing inhibition freed instincts. Yet equally, it bears a snarl and breath of defiance led by fuzz fired guitars which stoke the flames of thought and emotional reaction. Insatiably uncaging high-energy temptation and devilish incitement, DRONNINGEN’s sound has similarly marked out the band’s inimitable live shows, their inescapable spirit enlivening voracity matched across acclaimed releases such as 2016’s ‘Royal Riot’ EP and its successor the following year, the ‘Sugarbox’ EP. Their 2022 singles 'Theatrical Love' and 'Superstardom' are out now. Full discography available on Bandcamp.
