Section ii formed in the summer of 2012 over a mutual love of performers such as David Bowie, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, Interpol and Flaming Lips. After months writing at Old Chappel Studios the band soon compiled a set of songs and have hit the road playing at venues such as Manchester Academy, The Cockpit in Leeds and Proud in Camden. After receiving positive responses the band took the recording studio and have completed an e.p called ‘I Stand Alone’ which was released on the 30th March. The band have opted to move away from the standard guitar group set up and instead have developed a sound using baritone vocals, loops, orchestral synths, distorted melodic basslines and pounding dance grooves. Local radio plays have already been acquired and the music has been described as 'Dance music for rock kids.' Another song, ‘The Long Walk Home’ is set to feature in an independent movie this year titled ‘Remnants of a Disaster,’ scheduled for release in both the UK and USA.   Section ii have big plans for 2013 including completing a debut album and are actively seeking gigs.




Otiks are an indie rock five piece. Dark-edged music with retro undertones.
Their unusual name is taken from an old Czech folktale about a wooden baby that comes to life.
