Self described as “suicide pop”, their debut album “Oh Unhappy Bella” is the narrative of a boy and his sombre, twisted journey through love with a girl who never existed -- none of the dark bits removed. “Suicide pop isn’t a glorification of sadness or anything like that,” says Johnny Glass. “These things happen, we’ve all been through something horrible and this was our way of putting that into song through the vehicle of someone else’s story.” 

That story was Sidney’s (Kauffman): “I spent a whole summer doing menial work painting fences and out of that mind numbing abyss has come this whole project, the story, everything.” All the work has been done in the shadow of their redbrick dwelling in a little outbuilding they’ve recreated as an amateur studio. “It’s all we ever wanted, just a little room to play about in and make some tunes,” says Tommy Cowley. “Only this time we had a story and a concept”. 

Utilising the DIY ideals laid down by the punk generation before them, RA! have made a point of making this project an entirely self-made operation. Everything from producing, to mastering, to graphics has all been the work of a select coterie of friends and co-conspirators. And now they’re ready to share this less-than-gleeful project with the world, in the hope that - ironically - it might just put some smiles on people’s faces.

About Varbarna:
The project is a collective force that joined hands in early 2023.
A collaborative tribe from Spain, Poland and Norway who keeps paving the road to musical freedom, inventions and consider themselves experimental, avantgarde and plays the strings to any given genres they hold closest to their hearts.
Varbarna (meaning):
The radiant determination to set free your inner child – to embrace the purest, most sincere embodiment of self. A luminous force intertwined with the very essence of nature, encompassing your innocence, fears, aversions, affections, and above all, your authentic essence.
